2013 Subaru XV CROSSTREK Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle has a continuously variable transmission. When approaching a stop light or stop sign i remove my foot from the gas pedal and then the vehicle starts to slow down. When the engine rpm's reach around 1400 rpm the vehicle quits slowing down and continues forward at what ever speed it is at. The car may not be accelerating but it feels like it is because it quits slowing down. If i touch the brake a bit the engine again slows down until it reaches the idle rpm of about 750. On several occasions i have had to quickly hit the brakes to avoid hitting the vehicle in from of me. I purchased the vehicle in minnesota and noticed the problem within the first week but didn't pursue it until i got to texas as this is where the vehicle will be kept. The texas subaru service found no diagnostic codes and drove the vehicle with me and noticed what i did. The texas subaru service manager had me drive a 2014 and it does the same thing but seems to start slowing down again once it has done the acceleration at 1400 rpm for a second or two. They opened a tech line case file but say there is nothing else they can do. I feel this is a safety issue that will cause an accident, maybe not for me as i now keep my foot on the brake whenever slowing down, but certainly for others.
