2017 Subaru Forester Fuel system Problems

“Engine low level oil light came on a few times when I drove up my driveway or over a few inches of snow. Manually inspected oil levels the first few times and restarted engine. The warning light would go away. Warning light never came on when driving on a flat surface and always went away when parked on flat surface and restarted vehicle. There was no loud engine sound, knocking sound or smoke. Page 3-19 of the owners manual stated that the warning light might illuminate temporarily when driving on inclined surface. …”

“On three separate occasions thus far, while driving approximately 70 MPH on interstate 93 in massachusetts and new hampshire, my 2017 Subaru Forester touring (with 21k miles) lost power and completely shutdown. All three times, I was luckily able to steer the vehicle to safety while avoiding other motor vehicles and neither myself, my passengers nor anyone else around us was hurt. When the vehicle decides to shutdown, it feels like the car drops itself into neutral, the rpms shoot up to about 4500-5000 and all of the lights on the dashboard light up. …”

“First time, I was driving in the middle lane on interstate at highway speed, all of sudden the accelerator would not respond, the car panel went black, no lights or info showed. I coasted off to the side of the road, the car was in drive, ignition on. The emergency light wouldn't go on. I shut the car down and into park and waited a couple of minutes and restarted the engine without a problem. Second time, I was driving in the middle lane on interstate at highway speed, all of sudden the accelerator would not respond, the car panel went black, no lights or info showed. …”

“I was driving on the high way for about 2 hours, 70 MPH, gas was at about 1/8 full, but low gas light on. The gear shifter remained in d and the indicator on the dash said d. The engine revved as if it were in neutral and would not provide power to the wheels. The check engine, traction control, and cruise control lights came on, along with possibly others. The car began to slow since it was just revving in what appeared to be neutral while the gas pedal was pressed. Eventually I made it to the shoulder. I turned the car off for about 15 seconds then started it again. …”

“Car nearly stalls when starting from stop after sitting at light or intersection when in regular (not sport) mode. Especially occurs when having to turn from a stop and accelerate faster. Have almost been hit by oncoming traffic several times. Does not occur in the other modes. Very scary! ?fuel pump or other defect? City and county roads. Reproducible.”
