Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: About a month ago i purchased a 2006 subaru legacy 2.5 gt mt. i have two major complaints that most people complain about. 1) hesitation under acceleration. this problem is known by subaru. one tech told me that the ecu needs to be reflashed, but that subaru has not come up with a flash to fix the problem yet. 2) bad smell from the clutch. happens mostly in stop and go traffic, but occurs at other times too. i've had it happened when i first start the car, after driving it for a long time, cruising on the highway and shifting. it is very bothersome.*jb
