| Description of the problem | From a stop or at low speeds, when you press the gas pedal there is a delay of approximately 1. 5 seconds before the engine responds. This is particularly dangerous when pulling out into traffic from a driveway, or if you need to quickly maneuver to avoid a collision. Subaru technicians have inspected the vehicle, and they say nothing is wrong mechanically. I believe this is a flaw in the ecm programming. A quick google search reveals hundreds of other people have the same problem with various models of subaru. There are several aftermarket devices which claim to fix this by connecting to the obdii port and changing the programming so it matches the accelerator pedal linearly. One such device is https://www. Sprintboostersales. Com/subaru i should not have to rely on an aftermarket accessory to address a critical safety issue. |
