| Description of the problem | I backed up in my driveway and shifted into drive and i noticed a lag time of about 2 seconds shifting from reverse to drive. I contacted the subaru dealership and the staff assured me that was normal for the cvt transmission. When i took the subaru impreza for the 2500 mile check up and spoke to the service manager at the dealership, he also felt that this was a safety issue especially when backing up into traffic and waiting for the transmission and it's "slow engagement" into drive. He has expressed his views to subaru and like me has been assured it's ok. I still feel it's a safety issue. |
