2007 Subaru Forester. Consumer writes to express a recent experience with Subaru of America inc. The consumer stated his vehicle was a part of the emission control valve recall which could lead to catalytic converter damage. The consumer stated after being told the vehicle was in good condition and the repairs were complete, several weeks later, another emission control valve inside the gas tank failed. Subaru denied the consumer's reimbursement claim stating the two incidents were unrelated.

On March 4, 2004, while driving my 2002 Subaru forrester, I smelled an awful smell and the emission light came on at the same time. Car was towed to palm Subaru, gainesville florida, @ 4:30 pm. Palm has perfomed all prior services on this car including oil changes. Palm could not diagnose the problem that day and directed me to gatro leasing, within their building, for a rental. I did not provide a credit card for the rental which I had for about 16 hours and drove about 20 miles. On March 5, I was told that the oil filter was faulty I had not tightened the gas cap and that is why the emission light was on. Now I am being asked to pay the $22. 00 for the rental. I don't think this is far since palm installed the faulty oil filter.

Chattering clutch on 2000 Subaru Forester. This constantly happens when the car is cold and continues all the way through the four forward gears. I have driven manual transmissions for over 35 years and I know it is not my driving/shifting skills. A check of a message board shows that other Subaru owners are experiencing the same problem. The dealership will not acknowledge a problem outside of driver error. This could be a safety issue and/or design defect. My car is now out of warranty and I have learned to live with this. But if this is an actual defect that should be repaired by the manufacturer, I want it known that I have the problem. There is also the issue of bad O2 sensors on this car. Mine was replaced 3 times before a recall was done. That was 32,000 miles ago and now the "check engine" light has come back on only after a 60,000 mile service. The dealership is asking me to do more repairs as a process of elimination to zero in on the cause of the light showing. I feel they did something during the maintenance service and want me to pay for their errors. If it is another O2 sensor that has gone bad, doesn't the state of CA have a 50,000 warranty on all emission components? would it be covered?.

Oxygen sensor has been replaced 3 times. Dealer stated there was a recall coming, but not enough parts yet.

The oxygen sensor switch is not operating. The dealer is willing to replace it, however, he cannot get the part as it is not available. This dealer and others said they have several new cars waiting for this part. This may be a national problem, suggest you check into a recall. My gas mileage is now very poor and the engine is starting to run rough.
