NHTSA Complaint #11290161 — 2015 SUBARU FORESTER

IN MAY OF 2018, WITH 59000 MILES ON MY SUBARU, THE RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING BROKE. IT WAS REPLACED, FREE OF CHARGE, BY SUBARU. AT THE TIME, I STATED THAT IT MUST BE A DEFECT AND THE LEFT SPRING SHOULD BE CHANGED BUT IT WAS STATED THAT IT WAS INSPECTED AND WAS FINE. THIS WEEK, DECEMBER 2019 WITH 79,000 MILES, THE CAR WAS NOT HANDLING WELL. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO SERVICE (A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP), I WAS TOLD THE LEFT SPRING WAS CRACKED. AGAIN, THEY FIXED IT FOR FREE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT A SEARCH OF THE SUBARU'S SYSTEM DID NOT TURN UP ANY ISSUES REPORTED WITH THE SPRINGS. THIS HAD TO BE A LIE BECAUSE A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH THAT I JUST DID SHOWS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS OF CRACKED AND BROKEN SPRINGS INT HE 2014 AND 2015 FORESTERS. IT'S TIME TO ISSUE A RECALL.
