Description of the problem	I have a 2015 forester premium with winter package, i bought it new with 10 miles on it. When starting out from a dead stop. I step on the gas and there is a delayed throttle response ( like a hesitation or a slow shift on the automatic transmission ) either from the computer module or transmission. Other owners , that i know, have experienced this issue also. Friends that have the outback say its less pronounced. As you might guess>> i have a bunch of subie fans !!! This is my 2nd subaru , and while i am happy with it, i still can't get my dealer to do anything to resolve the issue. They say " its the nature of the beast ! " i'm hoping there will be a service bulletin to fix this annoying problem.
