2010 Subaru FORESTER Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1001046
Internal NHTSA #	10533852
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2010
File date	29/07/13
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Sat in driver's seat, started ignition, and as car started to accelerate, the left side of the seat (under the thigh) audibly popped. The seat adjustment now clearly only works under the right leg. Getting out of the car, raising the seat adjustment and putting pressure on it shows that right side remains supported and left side completely sags, leaving the driver either tilted, or seated at the lowest possible adjustment. Posture and safe driving position are definitely compromised, and i am seeking to get the seat fixed. There have been other mentions of this problem in subaru owners online forums.

What is Recall?
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.
