On august 2019 i purchased a vehicle from an auto dealership called motor car concept in colonial drive in orlando, fl.

While driving, "check engine" light, cruise light & traction light began flashing. Dealer said catalytic converter had to be replaced. Repair done & dealer said, "if it doesn't 'take,' we'll know soon." three weeks later, same thing happened. This repair is on top of a major gasket replacement done just a few months earlier because the gaskets were leaking. Car has about 115,000 miles & has been serviced regularly.

On next visit for an unrelated problem, was told they needed immediate repair at a cost of more than $2,000. A quick online search confirmed that this is a common complaint among forester owners. I let the dealer make the repair but complained to subaru corporate,…

The fuel tank door jams and refuses to open. This has been happening for about 5 months. I had to ask a gas station attendant to open it and he had to use a screwdriver. Took car to dealer on may 3rd. Did not fix it. I read online this has happened to many others. I called subaru customer service number and she said that she never heard of this happening.. I believe they should have a recall .
