| Description of the problem | When the transmission is put into drive or reverse from park, or from drive to reverse or vice versa there is a delay of approximately three seconds before the transmission engages. On a hill, the car starts to roll if the foot is removed from the brake before the transmission engages. I have asked subaru to correct this, but i have been told that this is a characteristic of this transmission and that they will not correct it. While it may not be a major defect that will lead to serious injury, it represents a risk to the people and cars around the vehicle. |
