Dealership cannot duplicate the problem, yet I feel it every time I drive the car while the engine is warming up. I understand they have to "witness" the problem before Subaru will pay for any repairs, but my time is worth something to me and back and forth to the dealership is not profitable. There will come a time when I will say I would be money ahead to sell or trade the Forester off and loose money on it. Time has the greater value. Without going on and on try to think of a time you felt total disgust at an object, that time is at hand.
