Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2000 subaru forester with a slipping transmission. when in drive, i depress the gas pedal and go nowhere. just hear a shrieking. its been coming on for a month now and now has gotten so bad i dare not drive it. it is in the shop now and will be between 1500-2500 to fix. their estimate is that there is a loss of pressure somewhere. they also have another 2000 forester in the shop with a similar problem, similar miles etc. unacceptable on a car with less than 80k miles. and very scary when you are on a slope and go to go and find yourself rolling backwards. why is there no recall on this problem? there seems to be reports all over the internet with the exact same problem!! *nm
