| Description of the problem | Getting on a highway from on ramp. I attempted to accelerate. The accelerator went to the floor, the car was grumbling and the pick up of speed was exceptionally slow. Rpms went to approximately 4600. I eased back on the accelerator and tried again with same slow pick up, to floor accelerator and rooms to 4000s. I was not in danger however i have had this issue before (filed a report december 2013) which did put me in danger. The car has been to the dealership service center and one other subaru dealership multiply with the dealer reporting overfilled transmission from the manufacturer and complete repair by siphoning off the extra. They report "unable to duplicate" and assume therefore no problem. |
