Why won'tdrivers side power window wont go up or down 2005 subaru forister
The usual reason is the window motor bushes have worn out. Look on Amazon for a new Window Regulator kit that includes the window motor. This is FAR easier to install than pulling the kit out to replace the motor.

No there has not been complaint's like with the Toyota's. Toyota is involved with Subaru on a few thing's , But toyota uses Subaru technology not the other way around. And the accelerator style levers are different from Subaru's. Sorry to hear about your accident. Have a great day.
