The drivers seat causes pain in my back, hip, ankle and foot on numerous occasions my right leg has gone numb or cramped up and I have to pull over so that I can walk off the cramps and numbness. My husband avoids driving the Subaru because of the pain he experiences. Even folks in their 20's that have driven my Subaru experience pain in some part of their lower body.
A/c compressor has failed on 2010 Forester. Bought in July 2009 and has 43000 miles.
Subaru Forester 2010 engine went dead while pulling into driveway. Attempts were made to restart the car. A strong rubber odor filled the car along with smoke coming from the trunk of the car. The driver had to get herself and her two children (5 month old baby and a two year old toddler) out of the car. Within minutes, the car was in flames. The car burnt down to its frame.
The body control module - which is held in place by double-stick tape(!) - dropped from its place under the dashboard and obstructed the brake pedal. It took 20 feet to figure out that there was something in the way of the brake pedal and get my foot around and under it and stop the car. Fortunately I was in a fairly empty parking garage and driving 15 mph. Had I been driving on the highway at speed people could have died. My mechanic resecured it w/a heavier duty adhesive, but said it wasn't possible (for him) to put a bolt or strap on it. I have asked Subaru to please figure a way to bolt or strap it for me.
