2006 Subaru Forester LX review from North America
"Beginning to have doubts about Subaru quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car shuttering when started up. Continued for a while with the check engine light coming on and the cruise control indicator light flashing. The dealer explanation was the number 3 cylinder misfired. Only 27,000 miles.
General comments?
This car started with relatively good gas mileage, but I have noticed a decline in the last several months.
There is a hesitation sometimes when accelerating that does not feel like the normal transmission shift delay.
Dealer states number 3 cylinder misfire may have been due to bad gas...however, I noticed other comments posted regarding number 3 cylinder misfire.
