2023 Subaru Forester Fuel System Problems

Your car developed a major oil leak before 60,000 miles, causing the oil level to drop critically low. The warning light didn't activate even though you were nearly out of oil, which could have caused severe engine damage if not caught in time. The dealer had to replace multiple components including the oil filter and related caps to stop the leak.

Your check engine light came on along with warnings that your safety features (Eyesight, lane departure warning, and RAB) have been disabled. The dealership diagnosed a leak in the evaporative emissions system and says the leak detection module needs to be replaced, but the part is back-ordered until mid-March 2025. You've also noticed the car is sluggish when accelerating and burning through gas faster than normal. Even though the dealership temporarily cleared the lights, they came back on after a few days.
