Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 01, 2007 8:07 am) Still trying to sort out since April. They are offering new tyres & rims & then test drive to see if humming goes away... Still waiting !!!!!! |

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, |

Greetings. I have an '06 B9 with 33,000 miles on it. Since Feb '08, the car has suddenly made a humming noise when I was driving about 50-55 mph. But, this has only happened six times. Eased off the gas and nothing happened. Gave it a bit of gas and there was a bit of vibration felt. Took it to dealer who noted all wheel bearings were fine, but had no solution for it. This has happened with winter and then my summer tires on. Anything ?? |

Hi fellow Tribeca Owners! I wonder if anyone have experienced this transmission problem (have not seen it described on this thread) When the car shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear (automatic) there often are vibrations/abnormal sound in the car and a slight hesitation lasting 0.5 to 1 sec longer than usual. It feels/sounds like the gearbox is "skidding" before finally going into gear. It is definitely not normal and started to appear a few months ago on my 06' Tribeca with just about 20,000 miles on it. - It is always when going from 2nd into 3rd - It rarely happens when performing a slow gentle acceleration - It almost always happen when performing a normal to fast acceleration I am worried of the transmission is going to break down, I have no warranties on the car since I have exported it from U.S. to Sweden (where I now live)  Any fellow owners there with a similar problem and their action taken?  Cheers (a Swede with a B9 Tribeca)

Have a new Tribeca with about 4000 miles. have noted (since new) that the transmission seems to "buck" in 5th gear on a slight incline (under slight load) at about 2000 rpm. Have had it in three times for this problem and dealer has tried to reprogram the transmission each time with no improvement. Initially I thought the car was "missing" under load as you can get with a fouled plug or faulty plugwire...the sensation is very similar. Has anyone experienced this or heard of this problem? Otherwise I love the car.!! |
