| Description of the problem | I have random but consistent problems with my 2015 subaru crosstrek in regards to the cvt, stalling and acceleration issues. I have complained to the dealership on many occasions. When coming to a stop and then accelerating again it feels as if the car is about to stall and in some situations i felt it did for a second. Its a very frightening situation when merging into traffic or driving defensively and the car just doesn't respond. I have come very close to being hit because the car did not respond. Another way to explain it is this: when starting from a complete stop, its like the car shifts from 1st to 4th in a split second and the car fails to accelerate and it takes about 5 seconds for the car to respond and slowly pick up speed like it was accelerating starting in the wrong gear (4th). I have been dealing with this for over 2 years now and i'd like to get this fixed asap. Please issue a recall for these cvts and have the manufacturer fix them. Just extending the warranty to 100k does no good because i brought it to the dealership last week and times before and they didn't fix anything, they just collected data and sent it to subaru but i still have the issue. I also noticed the problem more prominent when the weather is warmer which leads me to also suspect an air/fuel issue or something else adding to the problem. |
