According to Subaru, the 2012 Subaru Forester is equipped with a timing belt that should be inspected every 30,000 miles and replaced every 105,000 miles. Mechanics typically charge between $400 and $500 for the timing belt repair. You can identify a failing timing belt by a loud snapping noise and engine shaking. If you notice symptoms like rough idling, misfiring, oil leaks, or the check engine light coming on, it may indicate timing belt issues. In case of a timing belt failure, the vehicle should not be driven, and towing it to a repair shop is recommended.
