2001 Subaru Forester review from North America
"Junk it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ditto...ditto...ditto...same problems as everyone else here has reported.
Clutch at approximately 55K, check engine light is always on and yields an 02 sensor error, even though this was replaced when the recall was announced.
After more than 30 years driving standard, the shifting gears is very jerky.
Currently the car is undriveable, shaking, shuddering popping and my mechanic is suggesting that I replace the 02 sensor.
Clock is broken, rear center seat belt does not work, cup holder broke years ago.
Horrible experience with a dealership in Northern, VA. After plugging my car into their computer without my permission, they tried to charge me. I refused and they tried to block my car into the lot.
Let's hear it for a class action law suit!
General comments?
Handles well on ice and snow.
