2010 Subaru Forester - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Suddenly the remote keys don't unlock the car
A common problem is the button switches on key fob circuit board have broken their soldering point. If you have (or know someone technical with) a FINE point soldering iron, the switches can be resoldered. This may not fix the your problem. If not, you need a new fob (try
Amazon.com) Read up your owners manual on the procedure to reprogram the security system for new fobs. The process is tedious and usually takes some effort to the procedure to work.

Brake pedal will not depress.
indicates that it is the booster or second ,a faulty brake master cylinder
boosters can be repaired for considerably less than that or get a good unit from the wreckers /junk yards
get a second opinion from an accredited brake specialist shop

2010 subaru forester engine cuts out
consider this
when at the stop lights , you will have your foot on the brake as it will still be in drive or in gear and you don't want the car to move
a simple test is to apply the hand brake to stop the car and don't touch the foot brake
if it idles ok but cuts out when you apply the foot brake , replace the brake booster as it has a vacuum leak that is causing the problem
you can do this test in the garage by starting in neutral and allowing the engine to idle , then apply the foot brake
iof it dies it is the booster

What does this mean
The lights will illuminate for two seconds when the ignition is turned to the on position
The lights will turn on and then off when the engine is started
The lights may come on and stay lit after the engine has started then turns off when the vehicle reaches about 25 mph / 40 kph
The lights may come on during driving but then turn immediately off. - - However, do not hesitate having the computer codes and system checked by your Subaru specialist. Good luck.

Hilltop assistance warning light on
Its a bug that happens sometimes. Just happenef to me in my STi. Follow the steps in your owners manual to turn it on and off again. If your abs isn't on, it's just a hiccup.

Can't put gas into my 2010 subaru forester
Having same issue with my 2010 subaru - seems common although the dealer refuses to admit it. P0453 CEL code indicates a problem with the EVAP - this came on a few days before I was no longer able to refuel. THey say I need a new Fuel Tank Pressure sensor. Essentially the fuel tank valve is closed, when it should be open when the ignition is off. Wating 4 days for the part, hopefully thats what it is. WHat ended up fixing your problem Tom?

Can't put gas into my 2010 subaru forester
if the gas gauge reads empty it might be not working properly, and the tank could actually be full. I've seen this time and time again at my station over the past twenty some years. The other posibility could be an obstruction in the filler neck it self. Kids do the darndest things to cars ? LOL. If thats the case then there is Two hose clamps that hold it in place, usually a screw driver or a small socket will work. But first stick a peice of hose in there and try blowing through the hose and listen if you hear bubbles then its full if you hear just air then its empty and blocked. Good luck :- )
