The dashboard warning lights are also concerning. The check engine light came on, but the dealer couldn’t find anything wrong.
I had the same issue! They told me it’s just a glitch in the system. Why can’t they fix these issues? It’s annoying!

I thought I was the only one! The infotainment system in my Forester just updated, and now it’s even worse. What gives?

I keep joking that my Forester is possessed with how often it glitches. If it keeps this up, I’ll be looking for a new car soon!

Haha! Mine sometimes seems like it has a mind of its own. It’s one of the quirks I never signed up for!
Has anyone taken their Forester to the dealer for these issues? I’m curious if there’s a technical service bulletin issued for our model.
Yes, I took mine in, and they mentioned updating my software. But it hasn’t solved my problems.

Seems like Subaru needs to step up their game with the 2021 Forester. It’s like they rushed production or something.
Agreed! Such promising features but so many glitches. I hope they fix this before we all lose our patience.
I feel like we need a support group for Forester owners experiencing these issues! At least we can commiserate together.
Count me in! It’d make these frustrations a tad easier to handle with some shared laughter.
I’ve been having some minor electrical issues with my 2021 Subaru Forester. I did a bit of research and found that certain models may have warranty coverage for these problems. Has anyone else checked their warranties?
I did! I contacted my dealer, and they informed me about a service recall on the infotainment system affecting some Foresters. It’s worth checking out for sure!
Yeah, I found out about that recall too! It seems like some vehicles have issues with the display freezing up. They said it’s all covered under warranty, but maintenance records are crucial.
That’s interesting! I haven’t received any notification. How did you find out?

I checked Subaru’s official website, they have a section where you can enter your VIN to see if there’s an open recall. Really helpful!
I love my Forester, but I’ve faced engine noise issues. The warranty should cover it, but I’m still nervous about the process. Anyone had to file a claim?
I did with mine! It was easier than I thought. My dealer handled almost everything for me - just make sure you have all the paperwork ready.

That’s relieving to hear, Emily! I might schedule an appointment this week. Hopefully, it’s a straightforward fix.
Just make sure to document everything during your visit! I once had an issue not covered because I couldn’t prove my maintenance history. Lesson learned!
