Dear sir, I recently purchased this Subaru Forester car (jf1sg656x7h706060) in georgia, but had noticed that before allowing it to be sold at auction, the manchester center, vt/motor vehicle department vermont didn't ensured this vehicle had passed all the recalls requested by your Subaru company for this model of Forester (I see at least one open recall no. Wvu31 reprogram ecm now which was not passed). Beside, according to carfax and autocheck reports, it seems the car din not went through 2010 recall (wvn24: engine control module (ecm) reprogramming & fuel tank one-way fuel valve). I presume because of this, the error code p1400 appears currently on the car display. Therefore, I would like asking your assistance in identifying which entity is bearing responsibility for these 2 problems? I asked also Subaru inc. To allow servicing my car free of charge for inspection and removal of errors to the closest Subaru dealer, but not reply yet. How is possible that the car was allowed by vermont motors department to be sold outside of USA, even if recalls were active? as a citizen of eu member state, I reserve the right to start a case for allowing selling outside of USA a car being under Subaru recalls. I mean Subaru recalls no. Wvn24 and wvu31, the last even has not been reported neither to carfax, nor to autocheck, which reports I purchased before. Hope you'll offer me entire assistance. Thank you for consideration. Ph. D. Radu gorincioi.
While driving at highway speeds and running the air conditioner, the blower fan quit. After removing the blower fan it was found that power connection to the fan had completely melted. The wires had burned through and plastic around them was completely burnt and deformed. No fuses were blown which is worrisome because this is the exact type of thing fuses are designed to prevent. Had the wires not burned through and cut the power to the fan this could have caused a serious fire.
Sunroof was not closing properly. It was later determined that the electrical sunroof motor was going bad and needed to be replaced due to a bent sunroof frame. The sunroof motor was covered under my Subaru extended warranty, however the bent sunroof frame was not. Since the sunroof was hardly used in the past 5 years, I maintained that it was either a manufacturing defect or an assembly error. Subaru refused to pay for the frame replacement. Therefore, by replacing just the motor I still have the problem of the bent sunroof frame which in time will make the sunroof motor go bad. I encourage others with similar sunroof problems to file complaints. With enough complaints, Subaru may decide to cover these repairs under their classic extended service warranty.
