| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Every time i drive my car, it stutters. in any gear ( speaking specifically of a 5 speed transmission) no matter conditions nor driving style. spoken to all local dealers and s.o.a. official response is "turbo lag" the symptoms are not that of turbo lag, nor can s.o.a. provide a definition of turbo lag. may be turbo surge, which is detrimental to a turbo chargers life. this draws serious concerns from legacy gt owners. i think subaru may have a "serious" issue. they have been throwing money at customers to avoid lemon law's. this car is not enjoyable to drive with this issue. press throttle, stutter, stutter, stutter, go. subaru provided no resolution to the problem other than a new model. s.o.a. provided $6000.00 towards the purchase of a new subaru. mind you that resolution was easy to get, but did me no good, as that offer was made six months after i purchased that vehicle. leaving a difference out of pocket of $3,200.00 not a proper solution. but it was better than nothing. i assume subaru os covering up a large and expensive repair for this issue. only time, or the nhtsa will tell. *nm |
