Re: Outback 2017 jerking

Sounds like a good step in the right direction Rob. Hopefully the re-learn will solve the issue! Cheers Bennie Yes it did. I picked it up this morning and its running just like a new one. I assume that this same adaptive re-learn treatment can be given to the original posters Outback which may fix ...

Re: Outback 2017 jerking

I took the car into the local Subaru Service place this morning, all pre-arranged. One of their Techs and I went for a drive and just like when you go to see the Doctor, the symptoms were barely noticeable. But they were there enough for him to see what I'm concerned about. I left the car with them ...

Re: Outback 2017 jerking

I've just had some very polite email's from the Service Dept answering my message and asking me to bring the car in on Monday so they can investigate what could be causing the problem.

My apologies to tbm1975 for virtually hi-jacking his thread. Sorry mate.

Re: Outback 2017 jerking

Well, this self labelled "Happy Camper", isn't happy presently. I spent the whole day yesterday getting to know our new car and setting it up the way we like it. But whenever I took it out on a drive, it was really disappointing. Our town is mostly a 50KPH speed limited area and some of it is hilly....

Re: Outback 2017 jerking

I'll report on this now that I've picked up the car.:biggrin: When I test drove it and found the problem, it had just 10kms on it. I took delivery of it yesterday and was told by the service manager that when the car is run in, the problem will disappear altogether. So I got in to drive home and sur...

Re: G'day again.

These days the vast majority of Subaru's offered new, are CVT's. Its only the WRX and the BRZ that have manuals. There is one consolation for drivers who want to "drive" and that is there is an "S" mode on all of them, where you can use paddle shifters as a manual and the gearbox will hold the pre-d...

Re: G'day again.

Well, these are the "ALL NEW" Subaru forums after all. ;)
All new 5th Gen Impreza's, except the WRX, are CVT with no manuals offered.
Cheers,

Re: Outback 2017 jerking

I've just bought a new MY21 Impreza with this same problem. After looking around the WWW thing searching for other complaints, I've found just one description..."longitudinally shunting", drive train feedback. The reviewer chap who described this said it was in a MY20 Demo Impreza and that it was so...

Re: G'day again.

Hello Bennie, Thanks for your answer to my earlier post and extending the invitation to my impatient self. My apologies for chucking out the bathwater while it was still warm. I'll learn from that. :oops: 2nd go....... The reason I joined here was because I've just bought a brand new Impreza. It's a...

G'day again.

Hi, A few days ago I introduced myself here as a new member. Not a single "welcome" message from anybody. I now realise that not only is this forum very quiet....its virtually dead. Its sort of a ghost forum. Just in case there is somebody there, I'll log off now and I wont bother you folk again. Ch...
