My vehicle lost power while driving today on the interstate. I had cruise control set and the car was accelerating up a hill. It was like my car shifted into neutral. I was able to safely get to the shoulder and initially my car would not restart. I did get it to restart after a couple of tries and drove it home. I see a recall for a similar issue: 19v-856, but my car is not included. I have replaced the pcv already and this is the second time my car has done this toward the end of a long road trip (1000+ miles).

Running in my 2016 Subaru Forester at 70 mph on crowded interstate highway in texas and all power was lost. No warning, no warning lights, nothing. . . Just lost all power and shot off while driving. . Car rolled to a stop and then I had it towed. Restarted after a while and drove fine. Saw a lot of comments online for a current Subaru recall that has exactly the same symptoms, but for the 2019 year Forester. Subaru recall item: wuw-08 and also notes as recall #: 19v856000 - engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:crankcase (pcv). Dealer doen't want to touch it sr ince it's a different model year. Could be very dangerous.

My 2014 Subaru Forester constantly burning oil. I have taken my car to tyson’s Subaru multiple times when within warranty, they conducted multiple consumption test, admitted it burns oil but not enough to fix under warranty. I have my car in and out of the shop since 70-80k and now burning more oil at 140k. I sent this complaint to Subaru of America: my 2014 has been burning oil since 70,000/80,000. I have had two pcv valves replaced and numerous oil changes at stohlman Subaru of tysons, virginia. I now have 106k and the Forester is still burning oil. I can’t go pass 3k miles without the oil being low. Am I still under the warranty for this issue? why didn’t stohlman fixed the issue when it was originally found at 70 or 80k? they said it was the pcv valve twice within one year and I paid to replace the pcv valve twice. Now my car is still burning oil and not fixed and I am inn the shop again! what can I do other than complaining! have others complained about the same thing?.

Vehicle feels as though it is about to stall. This occurs sporadically when stopping or when under acceleration on the freeway. I have taken the vehicle into two separate dealerships, neither could diagnose a problem. However one did suggest it may be a pcv valve. This appears quite similar to the recent recall (19v856) which does not include this model year.

The contact owns a 2011 Subaru Forester. The contact stated that the vehicle was burning oil at a higher rate than normal. The contact stated that the vehicle was burning a quarter of oil every thousand miles, which caused the oil consumption to surpass suggested amounts by the manufacturer. The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle was leaking oil from the pcv valve, causing the vehicle to burn oil. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed other leaks were the cause; however, the locations were not specified. The dealer placed a short block engine into the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who informed the contact of a pending lawsuit related to the failure.
