Driveshaft Problems of Subaru Forester

The steering wheel "leather" coating has been disintegrating for over a year now. The Subaru service said it is a common issue with 2014 Subaru forest. & should be recalled. Eventually, the undercoat foam material will also disintegrate, he said. Also, both front lower control arms, bushings,band drive, (something like a drive shaft), strut & axel joint had to be replaced at only 69k miles. My car has never been in any accident or hit anything. Subaru paid for failed control arm replacement. This is an extremely unsafe car!.

2009 Subaru Forester. Consumer writes in regards to recall and other repair issues. The consumer stated the recall was performed. However, she did not understand why the drive shaft and front sway bar needed to be replaced, on a vehicle with 70,000 miles. Also, the windshield wipers and left front wheel bearing were replaced.

The failure probably occurred thousands of miles earlier since I heard a noise that I though was tire noise but no longer hear since the wheel bearing was replaced. The noise kept getting worse so I finally realized that it must be something else. The dealer took my car immediately and fixed the problem the same day. I would not be reporting this except that on the internet this seems to be a frequent problem that often reoccurs including multiple times on the same car. This is also a problem that does not normally happen on low-mileage cars.
