Description of the problem	"floating around" floor mat problem on my 2008 subaru forester. I bought my forester in december of 2007. Within a couple of weeks the mats started to slide around the floor and have bunched-up under the pedal cluster. I am careful to reposition them. What happened is that the hundreds of rubber tabs on the bottom of the 4 mats started to fall off. This is on all four mats. Subaru told me this was not covered by warranty. I read about a similar problem with toyota and i understand that toyota has an ownership interest in subaru. Perhaps they use the same vendor to supply floor mates in the usa. I know this is dangerous. My car is still under the new car warranty, so i am not looking for something for nothing. My bet is others have this problem too. Like i said it affects all four mats, and my back seats are rarely used, so it must be the mats. My car has 22,000 miles. Thank you

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
