Replying to: birdboy (Nov 02, 2009 4:59 pm) i feel for you. First my rear seat started to squeak . Gradually it got really loud in the car and I had to drive with the radio on! It took me over 6 weeks to get 3 different service managers to agree to rip out the back seats on my 09 Forester and replace the old latches with new latches. As the mechanic was driving it in to the bay he heard the roof squeak as well. He wound up ripping out the inside roof and told me it has been discovered that the adhesive they used to keep the roof secure in those Foresters has been disolving causing it to squeak there as well. So he put new adhesive in it, put the new seat latches in and then drove it around one more time with another guy in the rear to listen. One more sqeak found in the rear hatch door and it took no time at all to fix that one. All told I waited 4 hours for it but the quiet was well worth it- good luck to you but go back and tell them you are not happy with your new car.

http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr111809.html Top Safety Picks dwindled since they now must meet roof crush standards, but Forester managed to stay on the list: Small SUVs Honda Element Jeep Patriot with optional side torso airbags Subaru Forester Volkswagen Tiguan Cross-reference that list with the current month's issue of Consumer Reports most reliable list, and the Forester is the only small SUV to make both lists. The only game in town!

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 19, 2009 10:30 am) ... weight savings perhaps or a pricing target?
