 Description of the problem2015 subaru forester. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle hesitation/acceleration issues. *smd the consumer stated at low speeds, the vehicle would buck slightly as she/he accelerated. In stop and go traffic, the vehicle would lurch forward unexpectedly, or when she removed his/her foot from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle seemed to slow down abruptly. When the consumer attempted to accelerate, the vehicle would often hesitate before revving up. Subaru informed the consumer they were aware of the problem and there was a fix. However, within three to four weeks of the fix, the problem returned. There was an odd hesitation as if the vehicle did not want to go forward at idle after braking. When the accelerated was pressed, there was a delayed reaction and a lurch. Also, several lights including the engine light illuminated on the dashboard. The consumer went to another dealer and soon after the repair, the previous problems returned. *jb
