    The drivers seat causes pain in my back, hip, ankle and foot on numerous occasions my right leg has gone numb or cramped up and i have to pull over so that i can walk off the cramps and numbness. My husband avoids driving the subaru because of the pain he experiences. Even folks in their 20's that have driven my subaru experience pain in some part of their lower body. *tr

    When washing my car one day, i noticed a paint imperfection on the hood my 2010 subaru forester xt. When i took to dealership, they said it was due to bird droppings. They took pictures (with a cell phone camera) and submitted to subaru as part of a warranty claim.
