Forester

  • Automatic transmission

When I drive the car, there is such a lag that the engine is really working hard to move. Feels like you're driving with the E-brake on but I'm not. I've had everything replaced from a Subaru dealer in Stroudsburg Pennsylvania and it's not the braking system. The car does not roll so if you're not pressing on the gas pedal you can go from 60 to 20 miles an hour within seconds.

This problem is really hard on the engine and gas mileage. There are days when I can get in the car and it'll drive normal but that's very few and far between. I have taken my car to Jack Williams in Hamlin Pennsylvania and they're in the car for a test drive in one breath I'm told that the car is perfectly fine, and in another breath he tells me I need bearings. So I did change bearings in the rear of my Subaru and it made absolutely no difference - a total waste of money.

This car has absolutely no get up and go - if I need to pass anybody on the highway, it just bogs down. If anybody has any suggestions I am definitely willing to try anything I have not found anything any website was concerned to a drag while driving the car. And I'm going to stay it again it is not my braking system.
