Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“From a stop or at low speeds, when you press the gas pedal there is a delay of approximately 1.5 seconds before the engine responds. This is particularly dangerous when pulling out into traffic from a driveway, or if you need to quickly maneuver to avoid a collision. Subaru technicians have inspected the vehicle, and they say nothing is wrong mechanically. I believe this is a flaw in the ECM programming. A quick google search reveals hundreds of other people have the same problem with various models of Subaru. …”
