Biography
I had a 1999 Forester that I traded in 2009 for my 2008 Forester. Both have played my 'truck' role for many years. I am now retired and expect to own a Subee for the rest of my days.

Cracked Gas Tank Vent Valves

Engine light was on. Bought new in early 2009, it had been the dealers test drive Forester. 2008 with 48,000 miles. Well maintained, I have all of the records. Took it to a dealer in Tyler. They saved the old parts for me and showed me where the cracks were. They told me that is problem is common in this configuration: 2006s to 2008s. All fixed now. Thank you for your reply.

Are cracked gas tank vent valves a major problem for Subarus? My Forester has 42,000 miles. I have never heard of this being a problem for ANY car. Any knowledge would be helpful. Thank you.
