Replying to: xwesx (Jan 06, 2009 9:09 am) Yes, we have tried another new 08/09 and feel the same effects and the symptoms occur immediately for not only us but several other people we have had either sit or go for a ride in our vehicle.

Replying to: thecafe (Nov 18, 2008 6:20 am) We had what sounds like the same intermittent "shuddering" or vibration problem with our 2008 Tribeca. Our Subaru mechanic had us drive the car while he rode with us with his laptop connected to our Subaru. Basically, he captured some sort of readout while we reproduced the shudder. He sent this information to Subaru. Subaru told him that they knew about the problem and were working on a fix. Six months later, our mechanic received direction for the fix from Subaru. I will try to explain what they did, from looking at our service summary sheet.   I am not mechanically inclinded, so bear with me. It looks like they replaced the torque converter, the turbine speed sensor &/or o-ring. He also mentioned that he "re-flashed" it. I think he means a software update. These repairs were just performed yesterday, so only time will tell if it is the correct fix. If you require more specifics, our mechanic's name is Tim and he works for Schumacher Subaru in West Palm Beach, FL.   I hope this helps!

Replying to: vle3 (Feb 06, 2009 5:16 am) Now that a month and a half has passed, was wondering if the replacement of the torque converter, turbine speed sensor, and/or o-ring has correct the issue? I am having the same issue with my 2008 Tribeca.

Replying to: jeoster (Mar 18, 2009 9:38 am) It seems to have worked. Neither my husband nor I have experienced the vibration/shuddering since the replacements. Typically, we would experience them several times a day. We feel like the problem has been corrected. Let me know if we can help further.

Replying to: vle3 (Mar 18, 2009 4:41 pm) About what speeds did the vibration occur? And, was it speed sensitive?   Do you know if there is a TSB out on this problem?   My vibration is still there, and it is subtle. So, it's not too bothersome, but I do notice it from time to time.   I've also noticed that when the vehicle is cold (not real cold, but within a few minutes of starting in the morning 30-60 degreesF), I get hesitations. No check engine light though.

Replying to: vle3 (Mar 18, 2009 4:41 pm) Thanks for the info. I have contacted my dealer and am waiting to hear back from them. I also get the hesitation mentioned in one of the other posts. Replies to this message: jeoster (Jul 09, 2009 11:05 am) ateixeira (Jul 29, 2009 7:55 am)

Replying to: thecafe (Apr 06, 2009 6:42 am) Just to provide an update... I was experiencing the vibration on my 2008 Tribecca. I complained to Subaru and was contacted by a Sales Manager. She arranged for the torque converter to be replaced (no charge). It seems to have done the trick. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jul 29, 2009 7:55 am)

I recently had the same problem with my 2008 Tribeca. The dealer replaced the torque converter, O-ring and sensor last week under warranty. So far no vibration. Thanks to all that posted their experience with this issue.
