Description of the problem | When you go from reverse to drive there is a lag time in the transmission. Or if you go from park to drive its the same. If your on an incline it makes you hit the gas to accelerate. And if you were to pull a trailer and you are on a small hill it feels like the car is in neutral which is very dangerous. We only have 3700 miles on the car. I have contacted subaru corp and they told me to go to the dealer, which i did. The service manager told me that they have had a lot of complaints about this problem but he also said it was one of the characteristics of the vehicle. This to me is very dangerous. I was told there is no fix. The dealer asked how come i hadn't noticed this when we first tried the vehicle. As i told him its my wifes car and i drive my own vehicle and i didn't notice it till she told me to try it out. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy a 2016 subaru forester until they have tried it for a while. |
