criticalFUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Filed: May 2021

Both my wife and I have run out of gas on this vehicle which has less than 5,000 miles on it. The low gas indicator is limited to a brief warning in the screen behind the steering wheel. We both find this very easy to miss and there is no persistent visual or auditory warning.

Much like the 2018 Outback issue I had, my 2020 Forester is having the same issue with fuel indication inaccuracy and MPG increasing when fuel level gets under a quarter of a tank. My local Suburu dealership said this is not an issue for this model. I have reported this to Suburu as well.
