    2017 Forester 2.5i, 52k miles. Bought 7 months ago with 40k miles on it. I got in one day and noticed the TPMS light was on. Drove it to Discount Tire to get the tires checked. This (the time I noticed the light) was the last time either one of my key fobs worked too. I can still unlock the...

    My key FOB for my 2022 Subaru Forester Limited did not work one time. Very random. It just didn’t work that I had to open the door using the key inside the FOB.

    First time posting on a forum here. Hope I'm doing this correctly. A few weeks ago I disconnected my battery for about 6 hours while changing my spark plugs. I was taking my sweet time and was doing other things throughout the process. Anyway, after I reconnected the battery I reset the...
