40 Subaru Generations
A generation is a collection of years for a specific model where there isn't much change in the design, parts used, or the manufacturing process. Model years within a generation often share the same problems making them incredibly helpful for predicting problems and overall cost of ownership.
We've run the numbers and think the 4th generation Forester (2014—2018) should be avoided. It ranks dead last in our generation reliability rankings.

Have a complaint about your vehicle?
The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
