Rear Suspension Springs problems of the 2015 Subaru Forester

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Subaru Forester. While the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact's son noticed that the vehicle was leaning. When the contact look underneath the vehicle, he noticed that both rear springs were detached. The vehicle was towed to ganley Subaru of bedford (123 broadway Ave, bedford, OH 44146, (440) 439-3444) where it was diagnosed that both springs and struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and agreed to pay half of the repair cost. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.

While driving my car on a clear, warm day, my daughter drove over a speed bump and the rear springs both broke leaving the car undriveable. At first, I was angry with her, thinking that she had hit the speed bump too hard, but upon doing research on the problem, I discovered dozens of similar complaints in regard to the same situation. Talking with a service person at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle (kenny ross Subaru), he stated that he was aware of the problem with the 2014-2015 forresters, but there was no official recall and quoted a price of $925. 00 for the repair. I feel that with a problem that is not unique to only me and with this many other occurrences, Subaru should step up and issue a recall and reimburse owners who have already had the repair made.

Had just got done registering my 2015 Forester with 69k miles. Had replaced my tires since they were needed to be done for inspection and as I was reversing out of the shop it felt like I had popped my tire. Got out and saw the whole rear driverside spring shot down through the strut. Luckily it all happened in the parking lot, not with me driving down to my mechanic get get my inspection done. Also had both my children in the car with me so I was pretty upset with this happening. Brought the car to my dealership (prime Subaru of manchester) where I had purchased the vehicle and told them what had happened. To my surprise not only did the driverside snapped, but also the other rear too. Was estimated to be $550 for the repair. From what I saw both springs snapped due to rust. Purchased this vehicle so I didnt have to deal with problems like this being that I am a young father of 2 and cannot really afford nor should have to repair stuff like this. With a vehicle being only 5 years I do not find this acceptable. Subaru of America really need to take action towards this before someone gets seriously injured.

I took my car in for a recall on brake light switch and stohlman Subaru told me the right rear spring was broken, but the parts are out of stock. They reccommend replacing both rear springs at $700-800, when they are available. A hardship for me as I am a senior. I was not aware of when it broke, or that it was broken. They told me it probably rusted.

Both rear springs broken at the lower perch of the strut. Car has 9533 miles. Subaru replaced both springs for no cost because it was a safety issue. Owner did not notice any problem until car was brought to dealer for brake lamp switch recall. The dealer knew right away what the problem was before it went on the lift.

Car was not moving and sitting in my driveway. When I noticed the left rear body frame low, almost touching the tire. Looked under car and found broken spring pieces, that was totally rusted inside out. This should not happen to a 4 year old car with only 38k miles. I was very lucky not driving the when this failure happen or it could of lead to a major accident. I also found out though the internet this is not a one time problem Subaru is having with these springs breaking. I believe it's a manufactured material defect that should be recalled immediately before some one gets injured! also the cost should be be handled by Subaru. .

Both left and right rear springs and struts broke and needed to be replaced.
