Common problems and easy repairs on a 2014 Forester

The 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium is an easier SUV to maintain than other similar models. Removing the tail lights is easy, as you only need to remove a few bolts to take the housing out of the vehicle. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the trunk. This keeps these components safe from the elements, and makes a quick tire change much easier. Removing the battery is easier on this car than it is on other models, as the battery bracket that secures the battery is easy to access and remove.

Not everything is perfect on the 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium. To access the cabin air filter, you will need to lower the glove box first, which is a more complicated step than you’ll find on other similar models. In order to access the headlight on one side, you will have to remove the air filter intake first. Removing the wiper blade requires the use of a few tools to finish the job, making this repair more complicated than it is on other models.
