Brake Light Problems of Subaru Forester

Drivers side brake light was out. Removed lighting assembly and found blackened bulb and what appeared to be burn marks on the lamp holder. Inspected other bulb holders in the same assembly and found no other blackened bulbs or burned holders. Inspected the passenger side assembly and found similar conditions (blackened bulb, burned holders), but lamp was still functional. Cleaned both connectors and replaced both bulbs with philips 7443ll.

Drivers are not seeing my brake lights off and on and pulling me over to telling us to get our lights fixed. I just looked up recalls to find out that we have a recall that no one notified us of for the brake lights. We always have our grand kids and everyone elses in the car on a daily basis which can be a deadly situation. . . Please assist.

The electrical keeps having problems. This problem is all over the internet for several years of the Forester. I don't know why there hasn't already been a recall. There will be a be a beep, usually when driving - sometimes when trying to start the car or move out of park, and about any "safety" feature that this car has exhibits a light and/or warning. While this happens over days, sometimes the gears stick in park. I have to take a tool and press beside the gear stick to get out of park. The lights will stay like this for days or weeks and then it just stops. I have had it checked, but it is just reset until the next time it happens. Just the other night, my husband was driving behind me and told me that my brake lights were not working consistently. This is dangerous!!! who knows what else is not working when this electrical issue occurs.

The 2009 Subaru Forester has the light at the top of cargo inside and if it is dark you cannot see anything but the reflection of what is in the cargo area due to the brake light being inside rather than on the outside like other models I feel this is very dangerous, you might run over anything or anybody when you can't see out your back window in the dark. Fortunately I just took a mailbox down, not a person. Now I have damage to my new Forester and don't want to keep it.
