One problem related to tailgate has been reported for the 2015 Subaru Forester. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2015 Subaru Forester based on all problems reported for the 2015 Forester.
Yesterday 9/5/19 the tailgate strut on our 2015 Subaru forrester suddenly failed causing the rear gate which was open to abruptly fall onto my spouse's head while she was unloading groceries. The metal bolt with the round ball that fits into the end of the strut cracked off and appeared rusted at the edges. This appears to be the same/similar issue as NHTSA recall no. 08v-135 for the Subaru impreza. As far as I know there has not been a recall for this on the 2015 forrester for this issue. I will bring the vehicle to a Subaru dealer to have them inspect it. My wife has not seen a doctor for this (yet) but her head still hurts the next day and she was dizzy afterwards.
