What owners wrote
I purchased a certified preowned 2015 forester in november from northtown subaru in amherst, ny in november 2017. I was sold a basic model and assured that the remote car starter and heated seat that they could install at the dealership were as good as the ones included in more expensive forester models. Safety issue: on wednesday 3/28/18 I was driving in the city of buffalo with my heated seat turned on. The back of my leg, right below my knee became intolerably hot.
The passenger airbag seat sensor intermittently fails to detect the passenger causing the passenger airbag not to arm. This is also accompanied by the SRS dash light to turn on as well.
