Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Jerky cvt operation since day 1. In slow speed traffic (~20mph) the car had a bucking feeling when gently applying the accelerator pedal. This has been a constant throughout my ownership. Just before this catastrophic failure, the vehicle would suddenly jerk between 20-30mph and rpms would drop by 1,500 under normal acceleration as if an improper up-shift had occurred (though i did not cause this to happen, and the cvt has no "gears"). This would happen on any street, any time of day, any grade of incline/decline, turning or straight. Gillman subaru north's shop foreman had no idea what to say after experiencing the problem firsthand on a test drive. I worked at the dealer when i purchased the vehicle new, and was constantly dismissed by both the dealer, gillman subaru north, and by subaru of america, being told it was just a quirk and to enjoy my new car. Now, after a transmission fluid change that was strongly recommended by gillman subaru north, the transmission valve body has failed and the dealer wants $1772 to repair. Subaru of america was informed of everything, and refused to consider any other customers' experiences, as they evaluate on a case by case basis only. They refused to goodwill anything whatsoever.
