Description of the problem	After 20k miles, transmission hesitates more and more. Be careful and try to avoid situations where you have to accelerate quickly. The car does not move or accelerate when you hit the gas pedal quickly. Cvt slips, especially from reverse to drive. At slow speeds, it jerks the car trying to find the right gear. The problem began under 10k miles, and i took it to a local dealership, they told me that is how the car drives and told me it is normal. This is not my first forester, but definitely the worst. I called subaru america, and they said there is no known problem whit their transmission. I almost got killed in a highway stop and go situation, where i had to accelerate after a slowdown, and the car decided not to. If you own one, be careful.
