| Description of the problem | The rear door on the forrester sport does not open. It first happened after going through a car wash, the door does not open even if the car is unlocked. Neither by fob or door button. I have been unable to recreate problem however it happened again after a light rain. Door would not open. There have been similar claims online for the same year and model. Only fix i have is holding the door button until it switches from automatic to manual and it seems to reset it. However this only worked once out of the 2 times it has happened in the last month. |
