| Description of the problem | My car started to look low in the driver side rear. It has only 26,000 miles on it, is not rusted and has never been in an accident, pothole or off road driving. The suspension coil or spring broke right off. I don't know when it happened. Since i didn't hear it i can't guess. Checking online this has happened to lots of 2014 and 2015 forester owners. Subaru said it was ok to drive to the shop, but when i got there and insisted on an estimate first, they told me if i drove it, the remaining coil could puncture my tire. |
