OEM Subaru Thermostat
Dangit_Bud
  • Slow warm-up:
  • Overheating:
Rating 5.0

Use a Subaru thermostat ... some aftermarkets aren't the correct shape (length) and don't open sufficiently despite technically "fitting".

Pros: correct shape, sufficient opening
Cons: incorrect shape, insufficient opening

rainx Wiper blades
spacefret
  • Wipe quality:
  • Streaks/chatter:
Rating 3.5

I use Rain-X Latitude wipers on my 2010 and here in Pennsylvania and all of our varied weather I get about 8 months out of them, more than I've ever gotten out of any other wiper. They still work after that time but they start to leave streaks and just don't work as well.

Pros: lasts 8 months, better than others
Cons: starts streaking after 8 months

OEM Subaru Windshield
avfarooq
  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 1.5

my windshield on my 22 Forester has cracked due to a rock for the 3rd year in a row. Both previous times I have gotten OEM replacements, since I have been paranoid that third party wouldn’t have the Subaru logo. I was not driving fast on the highway and I wasn’t behind a truck. I even have a windshield tint so it’s even more annoying.

Cons: cracked repeatedly, prone to damage
Vehicle: Subaru Forester

OEM Subaru AC compressor
rzacosmica
  • Cooling performance:
  • Engagement:
Rating 1.0

She's replaced the compressor, condensor, AC recharged then a year or so later once again blowing hot air (we're in TX). Spoke to the mechanic right now & he said the compressor clutch is not kicking in because it's not receiving the ground signal from the engine computer.

Cons: blowing hot air, clutch not engaging

OEM Subaru Battery

this happened to me on Michigan Ave in Chicago during traffic. I have a 2020 forester as well. Has happened about 4x in the past few weeks; brought it to the dealer, they told me I just needed a new battery!

Pros: new battery fixed issue
Cons: repeated failures
