I also have a 2019 Forester, less than 30,000 miles, in which the thermal control valve has failed. I have been waiting since mid-July for replacement and keep getting the run around from the dealer Gurley Leep Automotive. Now that winter has hit, I have no heat. We have had sub-zero temperatures and it is actually painful to drive any further than 20 minutes. My engine runs cold and sluggish, warning lights and engine light have been on continuously since the original failure. Dealer tells me it's safe to drive while they wait for the back order parts but I am concerned after the sudden power failure late at night while picking up my pregnant daughter and grandchildren from the airport. Scary!!
