Description of the problem	On may 15, 2019 i approached my forester in the parking garage and noticed that the left rear suspension was low (i am not sure if the left suspension broke when i was driving slowly of if the vehicle was static). As i drove down the ramps in the parking garage, i heard a loud noise from the back of the car. I stopped, inspected the rear suspension and found out that the right side was now as low as the left. It appeared that both rear suspensions had a similar problem (right suspension failed as the vehicle was moving a low speed). I dropped the vehicle off at a muller subaru in highland park, il on may 17. I requested that the parts removed from my vehicle were made available for my inspection. On may 30 i went to the dealership to pick up the forester and was able to inspect the rear suspension springs. Both of them were corroded to the core at the bottom end. The coating on the spring was ripped (see pictures). The dealership didn't mention of the front springs were inspected for the same problem. I think this could be a model/year problem, bad quality control and/or material used on the suspension springs, and it could break at anytime, low or high speed driving.
