Description of the problem	After i purchased my vehicle, i noticed a hesitation between 20 - 40 mph. This is the first year for the forester's to have a cvt engine so i thought it needed broken in. I also went through 3 cycles of filling up my gas tank from 3 different gas stations and the hesitation continued. The first time i brought it in the technician said he overfilled the oil a slight bit, removed it, and i should notice a difference. No difference. I brought my vehicle back to the dealership addressing the same issue. They performed the tests subaru of america (soa) suggested and nothing was found. The last time it happened, > month ago, i feared an accident because it hesitated through an intersection. I returned the vehicle wanting answers. Subaru sent out their own technician to gather information to send to fuji and what i was told was that their equipment did not find anything wrong and that it was normal for a cvt engine. I test drove several more foresters and they all had varying degrees of hesitation and all had different mileage on them.
