Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge problems of the 2015 Subaru Forester

After 4hrs of driving with 2 pit stops in between, I was in 3 lane traffic and down to 1 bar on fuel gauge stating I had 50mi left of driving remaining in tank. . Low fuel light hadn't even turned on yet, only to find that the car had lost power and reduced speed and wouldn't accelerate when I used has pedal. However the interior lights and power windows still worked. I was able to pull off to the side of road and shut the car off. I looked under the hood and found nothing to be out of sorts. No dash lights went off either such as battery or check engine. I started the car back up in 5mins and fueled my car up. Also, during the trip my fuel mileage was consistently going down which the lowest reading days 17mpg when normally 30mpg. This happened the day after taking my vehicle in for new tires at a corporate tire company. 2 weeks later car having troubles starting. Battery and alternator checked out good, so suspected fuel pump. Car dealership states fuel filter inside the pump and even if there was a way to test the pressure it may not be accurate because it could be intermittent failure and doesn't recommend me replacing it. They wanted me to wait until it happens again before looking into it any further. They checked for dtc codes and found none. Also suggested I just upgrade to a newer vehicle and I stated that at 138,000 the car should still be repairable and driveability otherwise what's the point of purchasing to own the vehicle. Obviously the situation was dangerous and could lead to a slew of problems such as standing, accident or even death.

Always the drains on the moon roof get clogged and in a heavy rain, the back of the car roof seriously leaks into the car. We do not use the roof. This is a design flaw. Now the electronics box (controls remote key locks, tire pressure gauge, etc) needs to be replaced because it has been wet. This is a $500+ repair that has happened because the roof leaks in serious rain. We believe Subaru should reimburse us for the cost of the electronic box replacement. We also have to pay to get the roof drain unglogged.

On two occasions while driving roughly 65 mph the acceleration completely gave out in my car, as though the car went into neutral. I could press down on the accelerator and the rpm's would shoot up in the gauge cluster, but the car simply continued to slow down. I drifted into the shoulder, turned off the car, waited a few minutes, and turned the ignition. Both times, the car resumed driving normally. Both times I brought the car into a Subaru dealership, and both times they kept the car for a few days before saying they couldn't replicate the problem, and that there was nothing they could do. This has happened to other owners of Subaru Foresters from this period (~2015), and we have connected online to try and solve this dangerous defect. . Read more...

Our Subaru Forester shuts down as we drive on the expressway. It has happened 4 times now on 10/24/2016, 3/28/2017, 5/31/2017, and 12/31/2018. It happens only on the expressway during long road trips. The gas tank is usually below a quarter tank, but the check gauge light is not on and the meter says there's 50-70 miles left. We have been lucky to be on 2-lane expressways and to be able to coast the vehicle to the shoulder every time so far. Shortly after the engine stops accelerating, every single warning light on the dashboard lights up and 50% of the time we cannot get the car to restart. Our infant has been traveling with us in the backseat of the vehicle when this has happened and on the last occasion we had to be rescued by state troopers and taken to a safe and warm location because it was single digit temperatures. We have taken the car in for diagnosis and repair every time and they cannot replicate the issue. One time they said it was a bad batter cell and replaced the battery; another time they thought it was the fuel sensors and replaced both of those, yet we are still experiencing the problem. We believe there is a defect with our vehicle and it is putting us in a life-threatening situation. The car has now been in the shop since 1/9 without resolution.
