| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 'slopecontrol' causes the car to downshift any time the brakes are applied on a slope of a certain pitch. this is an acceptable feature at speeds below 40 mph, but at freeway speeds the car reacts violently and decellerates to an unsafe speed with little or no warning to following traffic. subaru is not advertising this feature and the car was sold to us with no disclosure concerning 'slopecontrol'. we have narrowly escaped two rear-end collisions and are selling the car back at a loss to purchase a safer stick shift. |
