2017 Subaru Forester Engine Problems

I was pulling into a parellel parking space, braking to slow to a stop when my car surged froward inspite of increased and continued braking and hit the car in front of me. The collision is what stopped the car. My Subaru Forester is very damaged (bumper, lights, and frame rail) and the car in front also had extensive damage.

There is a problem with the engine and the fuel feed. The engine will buck, much like a backfire and fail to accelerate. This problem has been on-going since we purchased the vehicle.

We have a 2017 subaru forester xt touring model 2.0 turbo engine with approximately 20,000 miles.

While driving my vehicle wants to stall and I have to floor the gas pedal and it slowly starts to accelerate. I'm afraid that one of these days it will not accelerate and will cause a fatal accident. I brought it in to pine belt subaru in lakewood, nj for service and they said the software needs updating and they updated it.

I have a 2017 Subaru Forester Touring. It has stalled on acceleration twice. Once on a divided highway attempting to increase speed going up slight incline around 60mph.

Vehicle hesitates during acceleration, worse if AC is on. Engine nearly stalls, losing power. Initially happened during left turn and while vehicle is in middle of intersection in front of oncoming traffic.

Car stalls when making hard left turn with less than 1/4 tank of gas car was stopped and lurked left. Could eaily repeat the problem in an empty parking lot. Filled gas tank and problem dissapeared.

The contact owns a 2017 Subaru Forester. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and several safety features failed to function as intended. In addition, the contact stated that the check engine warning light had been illuminated intermittently for over a month prior to a diagnostic test.

My subaru forester started smelling and rattling loud. My mechanic told me it could be the muffler. I took it to the muffler shop and it was the catalytic converter.

Forester in known for chronic exhaust leak into cabin through AC vents. Reported this to dealership and they "could not find the problem." Cabin of vehicle smells heavily of exhaust. Driver gets headache from smell/gas while driving.

Cam carrier leak-unreliable car-detected and confirmed by Subaru dealership-no warning lights-appears to be an issue for many Subaru vehicles

The catalytic converter had substantial rust and was beyond repair (I.e., welding). The vehicle was only 6 years old and did not have any issues with rust identified during the 2021 annual inspection (as required by our state). This year, the vehicle failed inspection due to the amount of damage from rust.

Exhaust fumes noticed in the passenger cabin of the vehicle. PZEV equipped. I have heard of others experiencing the same issue.

Noticed sputtering in my car. Took it to dealership. I was told I needed condenser and compressor.

The exhaust pipe assembly for our 2017 non-turbo Subaru Forester has failed. Two other similar complaints for this model and year vehicle have been submitted to NHTSA (ID#’s 11429564 and 11395158). Exhaust fumes spread within the vehicle cabin and presents a significant safety and health issue for occupants.

I started noticing exhaust fumes in the cabin while idling at a stop. I did some research and found that several Foresters have had an issue with their exhaust manifold bellows cracking on a flexi pipe. So I started looking for a leak.

Exhaust manifold cracked and needed replaced; was first advised that the catalyt converter was bad and would need replaced by a non subaru service provider. When I took to subaru dealer, was advised I had to pay for 2 hours labor to "diagnosis" the exhaust before they could advise of issue/fix; did not do at that time.

I did my first oil change at 1500 miles, then the next two changes at about 3000 mile intervals. Then I decided to stretch them to the 5k miles recommended by subaru. I was about 4k miles into this change interval when my oil level light came on.

2.5 manual, burns oil at excessive rate. Check engine oil light turned twice so far, once at 2k miles on a car and next time at 16k miles. Both lights were well within the oil change schedule and the car has not been subdued to any unusual use.

Upon starting, RPM surged to over 4500, and there was loud grinding noise, sounded as if the engine was destroying itself. Sounded like severe metal to metal slapping with vibration that stopped when key turned off ignition. Subsequent start appeared normal.

need new engine keeps burning oil

While driving on the highway at 65 MPH another vehicle cut me off causing me to apply my brakes. Car came down to about 20 MPH. Then I attempted to accelerate and the car would not accelerate.
