problem #1

Dec 102017

Forester X 2.5L Mfi Dohc 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,000 miles

Sometimes, when turning at a slow rate, 90 degree turn from one street to a intersecting street, and you press the gas pedal midway, the car feels like it downshifts and accelerates extremely fast, causing a jolt. It happens 60% of the time depending on how fast I turn from one street to another. Not on a hill.

Also, sometimes when accelerating, especially when using cruise to accelerate (using the ACCEL/RESUME), the car downshifts for no apparent reason. Letting go of the gas it will adjust, but I've hit red line once and now avoid using the ACCEL/RESUME.. No hill.
