#3369 of 3658 windshield distortion by robert142 Jun 13, 2009 (6:23 pm)
I notice a slight windshield distortion along the bottom 3 or 4 inches. Seems to run across the entire bottom of the windshield.. I notice it most when I am in the passenger right side seat which is lower.   Anyone else notice this? Replies to this message: robert142 (Jul 14, 2009 3:38 pm)

Replying to: billwv (Jun 13, 2009 8:59 am) I had an experience like that in a Ford Ranger. In addition to that, it would constantly surge forward while in gear,stopped at a light and the brake was pressed. If in netural, the surge would stop. After many guesses by the Ford service dept, they found an electronic sensor that was faulty in connection with fuel flow to engine. After replacing it, no more surging. Sorry, don't ask me what it was called, it's been a while since I had that problem. I do rememeber hearing a 'CLICK'ing sound just before the surge. This may not be much help, but it might be something like I had. A 'fuel sensor ' problem. Replies to this message: billwv (Jun 14, 2009 10:54 am)

Replying to: Den5276 (Jun 14, 2009 8:14 am) Thanks for the reply,   I agree, a bad sensor associated with fuel supply seems a likely cause of the problems.   Bill

Replying to: billwv (Jun 12, 2009 8:36 am) Well, one thing about Subaru is that you can at least get heated seats in the mid-level Premium models. Most other carmakers (Honda, Toyota, etc.) force you to get the top-level model if you want heated seats.   Bob

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 08, 2009 8:26 am) Juice, uploaded the pictures to my album, not sure why but apparently the 1st photo entered ends up at the end of picture set? Don't really understand why, or why I can't re-arrange the photos once they're in the album, but the last photo on the bottom is actually the 1st and the 1st photo in the album is actually the last. Hope these photos are useful?   http://www.carspace.com/tinycadon/Albums/InteriorAirFilter/ Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 17, 2009 8:13 am)
#3374 of 3658 open sunroof headliner rattle by birdboy Jun 14, 2009 (2:05 pm)
Hello again, what an annoying rattle from the sunroof headliner when opened fully. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix? Any info is appreciated. Already took care of the rear seat lock rattles using foam in the locks.. Replies to this message: iamrod (Jun 14, 2009 7:31 pm)
#3375 of 3658 Re: Very rough cold start. [billwv] by iamrod Jun 14, 2009 (7:30 pm)
Replying to: billwv (May 20, 2009 7:13 am) Hi Bill,   I am experiencing the exact same thing you are describing. It doesn't happen every single time, but I'd say about 80% of the time I come out of a cold start. Definitely fires up right away, but just as you describe after the rev it feels like it's going to stall out on me, but doesn't.   And like you the engine sounds really rough until it warms up a few minutes later.   You're not alone!

Replying to: birdboy (Jun 14, 2009 2:05 pm) Yep, I get that rattle from time to time as well. Haven't really focused on fixing it (if possible) as I don't notice it all that much. But it has happened to me a couple of times.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (May 20, 2009 9:44 am) Same thing with my '09 Forester Limited. Definitely notice it during the down swing on the acceleration. I have 4,300 miles on it and will be mentioning it during the next maintenance visit.

Replying to: iamrod (Jun 14, 2009 7:30 pm) Thanks for the reply.   Have you been to the dealer? Please keep me posted about any resolution.   In my case:   Dealer kept car overnight. Decided it was a faulty fuel pump -- unable to maintain fuel pressure when sitting overnight. Replaced fuel pump. Did not fix problem.   Service Manager wants to arrange for Subaru Rep to see car -- says "it can't happen" (without getting a check engine light). He ask me to call him back tomorrow.   I will keep you posted. Please do same.   Bill
