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..

Replying to: billwv (May 20, 2009 7:13 am) 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: iamrod (Jun 14, 2009 7:30 pm) 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 |

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.

Replying to: xira (Jun 19, 2009 8:40 am) I'd recommend another dealer. Subaru dealers vary widely in terms of mechanic competence and helpfulness. Sounds like you went to a bad one. |

I'm in the market for the new Forester (I'm new to Subaru). I'm located in the north east so I experience some good winters. I am familiar with the different AWD setups from the 2 trannies. I currently drive a manual. My questions are for those who have already experienced both trannies in the 2009/10 Forester (or previous models if it is similar): For winter driving, which tranny is more favourable and has a better AWD? How is the manual gearbox as far as the throws and smoothness? How is the autobox altogether? Which tranny maximizes the engine's power more? What kind of mileage are you getting? I'd like to hear some experiences from both sides. Thanks in advance.
