The contact and passenger were transported by ambulance to the hospital. The passenger sustained injuries to her left foot and bruising to her chest from the passenger side seatbelt, locking her into her seat during impact. A police report was filed.

Both rear seat belts will not retract on there own, do not believe that they meet the 49 cfr 571.209 standard for retraction force and are much weaker then loaner Subaru outback.

I was involved in a 4 car accident. I was rear ended by two vehicles behind me which sent me into the vehicle in front of me. My 2019 Subaru Forester's air bags did not deploy and my seat belt did not restrain me; therefore, I was throw into the windshield support post and suffered a head injury. I am very unhappy with my Subaru and pray for others out there with this vehicle! new bern,

Strange rattling noise at the rear passenger seatbelt compartment and rear passenger seat. Noise is only heard while driving over rough pavement or surfaces. Not normal for a 2-month old vehicle.
