2009 Subaru B9 TRIBECA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	904585
Internal NHTSA #	10446120

Brand	SUBARU
Model	B9 TRIBECA
Model Year	2009
File date	24/10/11
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When accelerating moderately, the drivetrain/transmission shudders. The vehicle hesitates for a brief period of time and then begins to accelerate. This usually occurs between 20-40 mph, especially when moving in stop and go traffic. Dealer has not been able to duplicate the condition and no "error codes" are showing in the computer. My wife does not feel confident driving the vehicle any longer as it makes it dangerous to pull into oncoming traffic. Apparently we are not the only people to experience this, but subaru does not appear to be willing to rectify this condition. Owners of 2008 and 2009 tribeca's frequently complain about this issue, but "nothing is wrong" when the vehicles are looked at by subaru technicians. I wonder is subaru is having their dealers cover up this issue.
