NHTSA Complaint #11206603 — 2014 SUBARU FORESTER

MY 2014 SUBARU FORESTER WITH 42,879 MILES WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE LOOKED VERY LOW OVER THE TIRE. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, THERE WAS A SEMI-CIRCLE PIECE OF METAL ON THE GROUND UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAD LAST BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT TWO DAYS BEFORE. I JUST HAD THE FORESTER IN MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR A NYS INSPECTION AND TO REMEDY ONE RECALL REGARDING BRAKE LIGHTS ONE WEEK PRIOR. UPON A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH, I HAVE FOUND MANY, MANY OWNERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON 2014-2015 SUBARU FORESTERS. THE CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN AROUND TOWN IN A SUBURBAN, PAVED AREA AND PARKED IN A PAVED DRIVEWAY.
