Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: With about 15-18k miles, i started having problems with stuttering in first and second gear. it was always worst in winter, when it was cold. i searched the internet for other issues and found several chat rooms where people were having similar issues. i took the car in several times to the dealers who said they could not duplicate the problem. when reading the chat rooms, some people did have the dealers say this was a problem. i called subaru's customer line and was told to go to the dealer. *jb
