Description of the problem	Own a 2015 subaru forester 2. 0 xt touring. Have driven 48,200 miles. Have driven on regular highways/roads with zero off-roading. Began hearing a creaking noise when i used to brake and come to a stop. Took the car to the dealer and found the bushing on the front were cracked. Was told it will take $800 to fix this at the dealership. Checked with a google search on the issue - found plenty of other posting on this issue. This seems a very common issue with the subaru forester 2. 0 xt models on a poorly designed suspension and the crash risk increases especially while driivng at high speeds. We use this car now for mainly our outdoor trips and now iam scared to drive this car with our daughter in it at high speeds on the freeway. Request to open an investigation into this since there are multiple reports on the bushings going bad on the 2015 subaru forester.
