Forester 2.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 5 miles

Heater doesn't provide enough heat. You have to max it out from the beginning on 32 deg F days or lower. Takes a good 15 -20 minutes to feel some heat in the car. Don't know if others have this problem, maybe thermostat stuck open?

Yeah and the CVT transmission has a major rubber band effect especially when already moving at higher speeds.
