2007 Subaru FORESTER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1175807
Internal NHTSA #	10705935
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2007
File date	01/04/13
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My vehicle regularly shifts in a very imprecise way, at the wrong times, in particular at low speeds. There is also unusual delays in shifting down when quick power is applied, sometimes resulting in delays in emergency or quickly needed maneuvers. The care behaves in exactly the same ways as in nhtsa complaints #10480933 and #10317114. I have found many similar complaints in other fora in specialized car websites, which leads me to believe that this is a design and engineering defect on the part of subaru, which has grave safety implications. I called one dealership and the customer service number at subaru, and was told that no bulletins or recalls have been issued for this defect. In both cases, i was told that the cost of replacing the transmission, about $2,000 to $3,000 would be my responsibility. Given that this is a design or manufacturing defect, which has grown greater as the car ages, subaru should be required to recall and repair the defects at no cost to the consumer.
