CarComplaints.com Notes: Is burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles normal? Depends on who you ask. While Subaru says it's within "normal specifications," owners wonder why they need to top off their oil reservoir 4 times between every 5,000 mile oil change.

2014 Subaru Forester Owner Comments

problem #1

Forester 4-cyl

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

On June 22, 2016, my husband parked the car on our driveway, located at 1264 hancock place in pocatello, Idaho. I got out on the passenger side door and stepped to the side and closed the door with my left hand. I was not far enough away from door and the corner caught my leg and the cut required 11 stitches. The corner has no rubber protection on it, I feel it is a design flaw. The consumer stated manufacturer was notified and had the door inspected. The inspector suggested having the door filled/cut off. No further assistance was offered. Updated 08/23/2017
