How much for a new engine for my 2010 subaru forester?

About $3500 for an re-manufactured engine... https://www.carid.com/replace/oe-replacement-engine-mpn-713g.html?singleid=23066291&url=1617115

What happened to the old engine?

We were driving it and it started chugging all the dash lights came on and it shut off . Wouldn't restart when we did get it restarted it was knocking really bad and needs a new motor .

I don't know. Did you have a mechanic check it out or did you just make an assumption? I suspect a timing belt issue which is repairable. If it is a lubrication issue or an internal mechanical failure you probably do need a new engine.

Subaru - • DOHC Interference engine, • SOHC Non-Interference engine.

The Forester has the SOHC unless it is an XT.

10,200 for dealer replaced short/long block and turbo / oil control valves - including labor and all seals, hoses and parts. I had the same happen with 67k miles. Called and wrote a letter (with supporting service docs) to Subaru of America about the situation. Tree days later they agreed to pay 50% of the repair. Now have a new engine in a 2010. Never hirts to ask, nicely.

Who at Subaru of America?

Will try to find the name, she was great. Really does not matter though. My rep said they all take calls and discuss, as a team, how and if they should help. My subaru service rep gave me the number. I had severe damage at 67k miles with good records of all oil changes etc. I was overly cordial in my initial call and asked for help in a formal letter with all supporting service records. Took 3 days for them to make the decision They will call the rep at the dealership during that time for details. Be nice to them as well, it helped to have the service rep on my side. Good luck.

I am a woman with a 2012 Subaru Forester that needs a new engine, subaru says they can. It help me because I can not find the receipt for my last oil change and I did not have an oil consumption test run before 100,000 miles. My car has less than 64,000 miles on it. Subaru of America offered me a $200.00 voucher good at any Subaru dealership and the cost of towing my car to my dealership after three weeks of going back and forth. I suspect being a women has a lot to do with this. I am livid. There were no warning signs that I was low on oil. Never had an oil leak or indicator light until the fatal event and then it was a red light and knocking sound.

Running out of oil is never a warranty issue. If you don't check the oil then you can only blame yourself.

It is when there’s a mechanics defect that causes the engine to use oil at 1 qt every 500 miles. Subaru refused to replace the short block on my 2011 Forester even though there was a class action against them. They didn’t let owners know about it and I missed the 100,00 mile mark. I will never buy another Subaru, and this one wasn’t my first.

I'm dealing with the same thing. Bought a 2012 Forester. It is using about a quart per week. 180k miles. It was a fleet vehicle and every schedule maintenance was performed. Pages of records. Subaru of America knows the engine block is defective. Was sued. Their response is they only replace engines under $100,000 miles. I argued it should not matter the number of miles because it was proven defective. Falling on deaf ears. This was the first Subaru we have ever owned and bought a used one to see if we would like it. Was planning to buy a new or newer one. After talking with Corporate and the Dealers. I will stick with Toyota. We have had 2 Sienna Vans and 1 Avalon that have been excellent vehicles. For now I have to continue dumping oil in this vehicle and thats fine. Lesson learned. Atleast I'm not stuck like some folks with a massive car loan and a defective engine Subaru refuses to replace simply because it exceeded 100k.

The engine problem only affected 2% of customers so it is easier for them to refuse to fix the problem and lose 2% vers pay out the money. It makes knowing your place crystal clear. Back to Toyota's.

I have 2014 Forester and at 3000 miles over the warranty I had oil light issues, but had it documented of oil light issues before the warranty was up. Dealer would not cover the short block so I called Subaru headquarters and within 5 minutes the dealer called and said they would cover the cost, all but $500. Great. A year later and 1 month, the dashboard lights are lighting up. The dealer can’t figure out what’s wrong and now wants over $1000 diagnostic fee, on top of the other$100 diagnostic fee, to take the engine apart and see what the possible cause is. Cooperate headquarters said I’m past the year warranty on parts, by 1 month, so I will have to pay. (I have been out of work-surgery-for 4 months and haven’t driven it much). Had I been driving the past four months......! After the work is done, headquarters said they will evaluate the cost and in good faith, see what they can do. Subaru’s are supposed to go way past 118000miles. This will be the last Subaru I will purchase since this issue is a common one! Back to Honda’s and Toyota’s that I’ve had in the past!

How much does a new engine cost for the 2014 Subaru?

$8200 Plus $1040 diagnostic tear down engine fee. Subaru of America is covering the diagnostic fee and 50% of the new engine. It still should not happen at 118,000 miles. I am not happy, but have no choice after multiple calls, they are not budging. I have to pay or have car payment s again for a new car. Never a Subaru again.

Unfortunately there’s an issue with the 2012 Subaru engines. Already replaced one at no cost to me. The second engine is beginning to use oil again at 6000 miles. So I’ll keep bringing it back until the problem is fixed.

I bought a brand new 2012 Subaru in late 2011. I noticed the oil consumption issue after 6k miles. Theres a whole entire thread on subaruforester.org on the FB25 engines from model years 2011-2017 that were effected. After much fighting with Subaru, they replaced my engine at 55k miles which also solved a ton of other issues. This was many many years ago, I feel sorry for anyone who picks up a 2011+ Forester/Impreza/Legacy and have to deal with that especially when their warranty has now expired. I've gotten rid of that piece of trash (it was my first new car with my hard earned money). Get a Toyota.

Have to agree with the majority of posts. I have a 2014 Subaru Forester with high oil consumption. They told me they would give me $1000 credit toward cost of new Subaru. Never buying another. Subaru needs to step up for this handful of customers.

Same problem. I have a 2012 Forester and have used 0/20 and 5/20 Casterol as dealer and manual suggested. Have always complained to dealer about oil consumption but was told it was normal. Have added 1 - 2 qts. between oil changes from day one. Now, at 102K miles, engine clattering and needs to be replaced (of course not in warranty). I will never own another Subaru. Going back to Nissan or Mitsubishi like before.

Just learned of this issue from a garage doing oil changes for me. My 2011 Forester has 97,000 miles on it; I have to add a quart about every 700-1000 miles and I'm just being offered $500 purchase credit. I thought I loved Subaru (this was my 2nd Forester) but now, will not buy another.

i have a 2014 forester with 53k on it. was driving about 90 minutes and lost throttle with a bunch of warning signs. now it barely starts but makes a fast knocking sound. Diagnostic will be 1100 plus tax. then i will probably have to replace the engine which will be 10k+. Also had to pay 600 to tow it. Don't know if subaru of america will cover anything. FML. I never should have left honda/toyota.
