Subaru Forester sport utility vehicles have a near-perfect dependability rating but a few quirks. CarComplaints found that overall complaints decreased for the 2016 and 2018 models. Among the concerns were engine troubles, gearbox issues, and high oil use. Other frequent customer concerns about seatbelts and airbags include the airbag light coming on and the airbag itself not deploying. These problems often manifest around the 60,000-mile mark and are assessed as a 3 out of 10 in severity.
