[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2021 forester has a dangerous design flaw. The battery is underpowered, even if it’s testing fine, which leads the car to stall after the auto stop feature. It has done it to me trying to turn left, on exit ramps, etc. I know I can turn it off but you have to push the button every time you start the car, and I forget.

The fix is a bigger battery, so they put out a service bulletin explaining the bigger battery and how to modify the tray.

But I had to deal with it stalling and go figure all this out on my own. I’m so angry that they didn’t just tell me! I don’t even care about the cost, I just want the dang car to work and not be dangerous. I feel like they’re playing games to avoid repair costs but isn’t it worse that I will never come back? I’m a basic betch so if I feel that way, a lot of people do.

Maybe I’ve just been lucky but I’ve never had a car have a problem like this that is a design failure and not a part failing.

So now I’ve fixed it, but I hate this car and the brand and I don’t like thinking about it even in passing when I drive around.

Should I dump the car? I’ve always driven the cars I’ve owned until at least 100,000 miles, is there a point at which selling a used car gets more or less advantageous?[/quote]

Just make it your SOP to deactivate the stop-start feature every time you get in the vehicle.

It’ll become habit after a couple weeks and you won’t have to worry about it anymore. [/quote]
