| Number of Cylinders: 4 | Date of Manufacturer: - |
| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On a cold start, generally the vehicle will go forward when shifting it into drive, but after it is warmed up if you stop the engine and then try to go again, it won't engage in drive but it will go in reverse. i see on subaru's service bulletins, on the web, show there are pages upon pages of the same happenings. it was explained that the interior seals of the transmission are allowing fluid to leak by decreasing fluid pressure in the transmission preventing it from operating properly, sometimes leaving us stranded. the vehicle is a subaru forester 2000, other vehicles were same models and were also included 1999 models. my question is should this be happening in cars just four years old?*ak |
