| Description of the problem | 2006 subaru legacy, bought new, it has experienced a stutter since new. The stutter or lack of hesitation occurs every time i step on the gas pedal. It causes me to hesitate at traffic lights and everywhere else as i know the car will not respond properly. I missed the lemon law potential of this issue because i was going through a divorce, changing jobs and moving. The biggest reason i missed the lemon law recovery is i kept believing the dealers comments that it would be fixed at the major tune up. I consistently reported to the dealer at every service visit that the car still hesitates to no avail. I have found only limited information searching the internet for others with the same problem. I believe this qualifies as a safety issue because i cannot drive defensively, if i was required to hesitate quickly to avoid an accident i would not be able to do so. Thank you! |
