I am contemplating buying a 2007 ForesterXT sports auto. I test drove
the vehicle and like it. But I have read some disturbing things about
a surging problem, at least in 2006 Foresters. According to the
complaints I've seen, this sometimes seems to occur when the Forester
(trimline unspecified) is traveling downhill. Another driver indicated
that occurred when he/she took his/her foot off the accelerator before
slowing down. Others have indicated that the problem occurs when
maintaining a constant speed. More about the problem appears in this
news group under the posting "surging forester". There are also posts
on the CarSpace.com web site under "Forums / Wagons / Subaru
Crew / Subaru Forester / Subaru Forester Maintenance & Repair /
Subaru Forester Engine Issues", in particular, the posting thread
titled "High idle" submitted by gman67.
It appears that Subaru has attributed the problem to a drive by wire
system. One person who posted something about this a year or so ago
indicated that it affected "thousands" of Foresters.
Can anyone tell me more about this problem and what, if anything,
Subaru has done/does to address it? I know several people who own
Foresters and love them. But this kind of report gives me reservations
about buying the vehicle. Thanks in advance.
