Once the car is turned off, the key cannot be removed from the ignition. From my internet search, this appears to be a common problem with 2014-2018 Subaru vehicles. Can a recall be initiated? Thank you.

Child locks on both rear doors are stuck. Based on the online forums, this is a common issue that Subaru is charging a $300 repair per door. It is a safety concern now that my children are old enough to not need safety locks.

Right trunk tail gate broke at pivot point due to rust. I had lifted the rear trunk door up to remove packages when the trunk door suddenly came down on my head. Subaru had issued a warning about this but this should be a recall!! I was thankful a child was not standing next to me! The dealer replaced both gates when I complained.

I reached inside the back lift gate of the car when it dropped on my head. I went to the ER where they did a CT and MRI of my head and spine to rule out a fracture or head bleed.There was no warning message on the dash or problem noted from the dealership. I have owned the car since April 2021 and had no problem with it before that day. The car dealership has replaced the hydraulic lift struts on the back lift door. So I don't know if they still have the defective parts. I have contacted my insurance company but no representative came out to see it. A video of what the door did was sent to the car dealership and the insurance company.

Several warning messages appeared on the dash at the same time: Check engine, Check emissions control system, Hill start assist system needs to be checked. In addition, the pictures of a car climbing a hill and a car with swerving skid marks behind it lit up. (I don't know the official names of these icons.) The engine then either lost power and would not accelerate when I pressed the gas pedal or would rev and accelerate on its own, even when I had the brake depressed. I have taken my car into the dealership 4 times over the past two years for this same issue. I do not have the exact dates of the first two instances, but the last two were on July 7, 2021, and September 17, 2021. Each time the dealer has been able to verify the warning lights and unintended acceleration. They say the problem is with the brake pedal assembly and have replaced it with a new assembly 3 times. They're working on the 4th one right now.

Hello, my name is [XXX], I am disabled (ADA) following brain surgery at Mass General Hospital (December, 2005, [XXX], MD). I have since walked with a cane, was required to retire approx 10 years ago, and have routine seizures. I apologize for this, but I feel the air conditioning should be covered, as in many situations (especially with global warming), the cooling is required for the elderly and for people with medical conditions. Please reconsider allowing the faulty air conditioning systems in 2014 Subaru Foresters to be covered under payment by Subaru. The car referenced belongs to my sister Nancy English, who commonly drives me to places I need to go. The cost is not expected to be too overwhelming, but I feel the Air Conditioning is more important to (many) people, than was established some years ago. Thank you sincerely.[XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Warning lights keep going on while driving including the "ABS warning light", "hill assist" and "vehicle dynamics control". this always disengages the cruise control and often happens after driving for awhile. This didn't start happening until I had the dealer replace the clock spring due to non working horn and cruise control and trouble with steering roll connector. They also replaced rear coil springs and rear left wheel bearing and backing plate.

My 2014 Subaru Forester's engine at times acts as if it is going to stall. It acts as though it is getting no fuel. I have had the fuel filter/fuel pump assembly replaced and it seemed to run ok for a short time. The stalling action does not always happen. Sometimes it runs smoothly. Then it starts the sputtering/stall action again.the mechanic who replaced them in an effort to correct the problem is not able to tell me what else could be causing it. My vehicle gets 93 octane gas and only has 32,000 miles on it. Please help.

My backup camera only works periodically. When I put the car in reverse the dashboard screen sometimes just shows a black screen with the distance lines displayed. Other times it works fine. Doesnt seem to be a pattern. Many people seem to have the same problem in posted message boards and it seems like certain other Subaru were recalled for this issue.

I would like to report an incident of sudden unexpected acceleration malfunction. Driving at a speed of about 10 miles per hour, I turned left from the street into a slightly uphill driveway about 16 feet long. The Subaru suddenly and unexpectedly self accelerated over the entry way to the garage and run into the garage door. When the car started self-accelerating I switched my foot from the accelerator and stepped on the brake pedal and then I shifted gears, which eventually made the car stop. But the garage door was smashed, the car parked inside the garage was hit and in turn hit the washing machine behind it, which and ended up smashed and lodged halfway into the back wall of the garage. I have filed a claim with my insurance. I have also provided my insurance company with information widely available about recent class lawsuits for similar issues in New Jersey (weston, et al., V. Subaru of America, Inc., et al.) and California (bare et al. V. Subaru of America, Inc.), but it seems that this issue with this brand and model has been reported before many times, starting more than ten years ago (https://www.safetyresearch.net/blog/articles/automakers-blame-drivers-settle-unintended-acceleration-cases). from the information available online, Subaru repeatedly blames this on the drivers, but the issue seems to originate from a failure of a car's electronic throttle control, allowing the throttle to expand wide open to an apparent software defect plaguing the controller area network and a flaw hampering the brake override system found in affected vehicles (https://www.classaction.org/news/Subaru-faces-another-class-action-alleging-defects-to-blame-for-sudden-unintended-acceleration-problems)

The horn has stopped working

- Tucson, AZ, USA

My front windshield developed a spontaneous crack. It was cold outside and the car was parked in the driveway. When I started the car in the evening, I noticed a horizontal crack about 24" long, near the bottom of the windshield. The defroster was not on. This is my second Forester and both windshields have developed the same spontaneous crack in the same place.

Horn doesn't work. Only works when I lock the car.

The key is getting stuck in the ignition when I go to get out of the car. Of course the car is stationary and in park.

14 Subaru Forester and it has been intermittently having issues with the key in the ignition getting stuck. Started with moving the steering column and jiggling the key to now it's become a huge issue. Gets stuck all the time! takes up to 30 minutes to remove the key! Subaru needs to fix this! it's becoming a common faulty issue!!

Drivers side window will not stay up/closed when using auto up switch. Must close window using multiple start stop engagements of window control. Dealer tried multiple to repair multiple times when under warranty. Now, not under warranty. Dealer blamed dirt or temperature but never convinced of exact cause and never offered to replace switch.

Tailgate lift support failures- on Nov 3, 2019, my 2014 Forester was parked in my driveway. I opened the tailgate and allowed my dog to jump into the back of the car. When I closed the tailgate there was a loud metal-on-metal crunching noise. I carefully opened the tailgate and then noticed that the driver's side tailgate lift support was hanging down because it had snapped off from where it connected to the tailgate. The crunching metal sound was caused by the tailgate being closed on top of the broken lift support. The tailgate door would not remain open on its own which made it nearly impossible to load or unload the rear of the vehicle without another person to assist. My husband was able to locate a new lift support online and he replaced the part himself. On Dec 28, 2019, my car was parked in a parking lot and we had just placed some packages in the rear of the car. When my husband closed the tailgate we heard the same awful noise. This time it was the passenger side lift support which had failed. But in this instance, as the tailgate closed on top of the broken lift support, it broke the taillight.
