| Description of the problem | Drivers seat support failure. My 2010 subaru forester limited has what appears to be a broken weld or support in the drivers seat. While the power seat still functions, the left side of the seat cushion/seat frame has collapsed. If the power seat is raised, only the right side rises creating an uneven seating surface and very uncomfortable and not particularly safe since the integrity of the seat is now in question. From looking at the www. Subaruforester. Org web site, this appears to be a problem that has happened to a number of other 2010 forester owners as well. The dealer feedback included on this website concludes that faulty/inadequate welds is the cause of the seat/seat support failures. |
