After 20K miles, and
After 20K miles, and complaining each time I had to add oil to my 2011 Forrester, the dealer finally did an oil consumption test. It not only failed, but also just before bringing it in for them to check the last time, the engine, cruise, and stability lights came on. It was towed to the dealer. They reprogrammed the software to fix the lights issue? Then replaced the entire short block. Said I was the lucky ones, that they needed short blocks to study?
The very first time I started it "cold", it made a loud tapping noise for a few seconds before idling like normal. has done this every time since. Now they're replacing a timing chain tentioner rod? Waiting for them to call now to see if that took care of this issue. I'm ready to be rid of it!! I have no faith in it as safe, sound, dependable transportation.
Are there more of you with this many problems?
