What Owners Say
"Issue started about 2 years ago with occasional Check-Engine-Light coming on. There was no clear frequency though. A few months ago a repair shop determined the MAP sensor failed and replaced the sensor. So far no issues."

""Every 150 - 200 miles check engine light engages. EVOV systems,replaced fuel cap twice as advised. Check Engine light reoccured. Replaced corroded evaporation canister. Ran vac hose smoke test. Replaced EGR valve. Check engine light reoccurs at same frequency. Called Subaru of America and opened a Service Case, rec'd email from Customer Service Representative who referenced infotainments system, not the EGR, told me the car is out of warranty, has no outstanding recalls, and suggested I take it to a dealership. I requested assistance in locating and scheduling an appointment and they agreed; however, that did not happen. I want to be able to feel safe driving a distance in excess of 150 miles. The 2006 Forrestor will definitely be our last Subaru""
