I was cleaning interior of car and the drivers seat lifted up. car was in my driveway, the interior weld broke. i took it to local subaru dealer. now 5 days later, after new seat came in i am told the track is broken. a cost of $600 plust labor to fix. i had an extended warranty that covered the seat and weld. i have contacted subaru of america as well. the vehicle has 90,700 miles on it. i am 6 ft 2" @ 240#'s solo owner and don't abuse my vehicle. i thought subaru's were better built. in 2014 i had to replace the cylinder head (gasket) wheel bearings and brakes. 2015 the compete suspension was replaced in 2010 under original warranty the switch for moon roof and then 2 months later the motor for the moon roof was replaced. that is why i bought an extended warranty. the seat issue i have seen on line has happened to others who own forester's.
A fire broke out in the interior of our car while parked. the passenger door was destroyed and the interior of the car was ruined with smoke damage. insurance declared it a total loss and both the adjuster and fire department suspect it was a wiring issue. while arson was not ruled out, there was no other damage to the car to suggest a break-in, and no personal belongings in the car were tampered with. *tr
