I agree, the problem is your dealer, not the manufacturer. Plus, cross-posting is against the Town Hall rules.

Now that's service. Find a dealer like this one: danellh, "Forester Interior & Passenger Comfort Questions" #63, 30 Sep 2007 10:15 am

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 01, 2007 8:18 am) My Tribeca seats are just not supporting my lower back like our other car does. There is no electronic adjustment to give lower lumbar support and on long trips I have to wedge a pillow back there. BAD DESIGN!!!! However, I'd never return the car, but I'd like to find a nice leather wedge to match my light interior to give me that support instead of a bulky pillow on road trips.

I'm still having Transmission problems. It happens sporadically that I don't think the dealer will be able to find this problem! It happens every 2 to 3 days. Always in the mornings on the way out. I live in warm climate in FL so the engine isn't too "cold" but when I pull out into an intersection out of my development in the mornings......it's like I can't get into 1st gear...even though I'm in Drive it's in neutral and the engine roars but the car doesn't go anywhere. It's very dangerous because I'm getting ready to pull out in traffic and I nearly miss my moment to turn left. Sometimes it happens on my first left into a major intersection, other times it's my section left into an intersection. It's dangerous and embarrassing. BTW, I have a 2007 Tribeca Do you think Suburu and fix this? What is this?

I have an early 2006 Tribeca that takes awhile to shift, especially when passing. In fact, the rpm's shoot way up before there is any acceleration. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Hello evreyone, Has anybody had issues with the transmission when the car is cold, and when it is shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear? My 2006 Tribeca, w/30k miles, seems to shift hard when cold. Even if I warm up the car for 5min. it will still do that. (usually in the mornings) However, I try to drive smooth and sometimes I even shift it manually from 2nd to 3rd, and by doing that I know when it is going to shift, so I let go of the gas a little to have it shift smoothly. I have told the dealership couple times, and last time they said they reprogrammed the computer. However, I can' tell if it's a lot better or not. It seems to be a little better. I am worried a little that the transmission might fail after the warranty expires and that it is a little weak for tribeca's size... Anybody having or noticing same issue with shifting when cold? Thanks, |
