I purchased this 2010 Subaru Forester from a private party in 2/2021. It had about 98500 miles, ran smoothly, had service records and was up to date in maintenance. It stalled out in traffic due to low fuel and oil issues. There was oil showing on the dipstick but also oil leaking under the engine when checked at a Subaru service dept. I now found that oil leaks and problems are common according to articles on line. It will cost thousands to either replace the seals or the engine!! For a vehicle of this caliber I expected years of services not immediate oil issues. This is a potential seizing of the engine issue. It consumes too much oil due to the leaks. Is there any pending lawsuits I can join to cover these repairs? Secondly the low tire light is on at all times. Air pressure has been triple checked...
ON AUGUST 2019 I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM AN AUTO DEALERSHIP CALLED MOTOR CAR CONCEPT IN COLONIAL DRIVE IN ORLANDO, FL. THEY SCAM ME INTO BUYING A VEHICLE THAT THEY KNEW WAS NOT GOING TO BE RUNNING OR IN GOOD CONDITIONS WITHIN 6 MONTHS. I TRIED TO HAVE THEM FIX THE CAR WITHIN A DAY OF BUYING THE VEHICLE AS THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON. THEY WILL GIVE ME DAYS TO COME IN AND THEN I WILL SHOW UP AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE, TURNING ME DOWN AS THEY WHERE "TO BUSY". ON NOVEMBER I WAS PUT INTO A POSITION OF VOLUNTARY DOING A REPOSSESSION AS I WAS PAYING INSURANCE AND A CAR LOAN FOR A VEHICLE THAT COULD NOT BE USED. THE WHOLE PART OF THE THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS MOLDY AND RUSTY AND IT NEEDS TO BE FULLY REPLACED. I WENT TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR...
WHEN SWITCHING TO WINTER TIRES AND WHEELS, COST IS EXCESSIVE TO BUY NEW TPMS SENSORS AND HAVE THEM REPROGRAMMED TWICE A YEAR. DEALERS WILL NOT DO THE SWITCH BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DISABLING A SAFETY SYSTEM. ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL FEDERAL REQUIREMENT WAS INTENDED TO INCREASE SAFETY, IT ACTUALLY MAY DECREASE SAFETY FOR THOSE IN SNOW AREAS DUE TO DISCOURAGEMENT OF USE OF PROPER WINTER TIRES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ORIGINAL RULEMAKING. IT APPEARS THAT THE COSTS WERE LOWBALLED (MUCH LESS THAN ACTUAL), AND THE WINTER TIRE ISSUE WAS NOT ANALYZED AT ALL. THE NHTSA SHOULD PROVIDE SOME RELIEF.
THE ORIGINAL FACTORY ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE EXHIBITING PRONOUNCED CORROSION AND PITTING STEMMING AT THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL AND MOVING RADIALLY OUTWARD. ALL FOUR WHEELS SHOW CORROSION. CORROSION IN UNSEEN PORTIONS OF THE WHEEL IS UNKNOWN. THE CONCERN IS THE CORROSION IS AFFECTING THE STRUCTURAL PORTIONS OF THE WHEEL. *TR
