Owner Complaints (3)
Your driver's seat has become loose and shifts side to side while you're driving, even though your Forester only has 27,000 miles and has never been in an accident. The dealer found that the seat frame rail guides failed and had to replace the entire seat undercarriage for $1,742 since the guides can't be fixed separately. A moving seat while driving could affect your ability to control the vehicle safely.

Takata recall I am a fitness instructor and in the health field for very long time. Subaru along with other car companies are using the new mandated forward -head rest . It should mandated that the head rest also come with 2 or 3 (forward and back adjustment options) all you can do is move up or down.

I have caught the back of my right shoe 4 times( since buying the car in august) when getting out of the car. It catches on the hard plastic on the front left of the driver's seat. The first three times I was exiting the car in town and could have fallen into passing traffic had I not been holding onto the door.
