One problem related to underbody shield has been reported for the 2003 Subaru Forester. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2003 Subaru Forester based on all problems reported for the 2003 Forester.
We took our 2003 Subaru Forester in to the dealership for an oil change and was told that the frame of the car was in "serious" condition and needed to be replaced. A photo was taken and sent to the district manager for his review. We replaced the control arms on our own in December 2011. Took the car in to our dealership in January 2012 for recall of control arms and nothing was said about the frame at that time. Mechanic stated you can put your finger into the hole in the frame of the car. Forester was never driven off-road and was driven solely in the city. The frame should not have rusted out through normal wear and tear. Winter this year was very mild. Please investigate this as frames on cars should not develop holes.
