| Description of the problem | My vehicle showed significant lag in speeding up after pressing the accelerator and revved very high rpms (34-4200). This also occurred when i removed my foot from the accelerator going down a hill... High rpm (34-400) without decrease in speed. Subaru of manchester determined transmission came from manufacturer with overfilled fluid causing hesitancy and lag. Repaired and reset. On 12/28/13, my vehicle would not accelerate while travelling at 60mph on a highway so i could avoid being hit by another vehicle who was drifting towards my right side as it attempted to get on the highway. I pressed the accelerator continuously and then to the floor; rpm's revved to 5400; loud airplane type sound; with no acceleration. Subaru of manchester has since determined the transmission needed an update and reset of the transmission settings. They also found a leak between the transmission and the engine which they state came from the manufacturer. They stated the power train is fine. I will pick my vehicle up from this repair within the next 24 hours and will see if that was in fact the issue. |
