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 3652 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)

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

Replying to: tinycadon (Jun 14, 2009 1:20 pm) They will be when the time comes. Thanks for taking the time to document that. I'd done it for my 1998 model and it came in handy for others.   It was easier back then because it was below the glove box, not behind it.
#3380 of 3652 Forester Engine Failure Concern by xira Jun 19, 2009 (8:40 am)
I have an 09 XT and would like to bring it in to the dealer to see if I have one of the cars that might have an engine failure. One member said Subaru issued a test kit to check for the impending bearing failure that causes the blown engine-- the test kit apparently checks the oil for metal particles.   My local Subaru dealer said they have nothing of the kind -- no such kit-- and they are "not a chemical lab" so they cannot help me. They were not very pleasant.   Any suggestions?   I have 10,000 miles on my car and I did bring it in last fall for the earlier recall (for something else). It is running fine to the best of my knowledge.   Thanks. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 19, 2009 10:41 am) kurtamaxxxguy (Jun 19, 2009 8:48 pm)
