yakmike Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hi everyone, a new member here with a brand spanking new 2015 Outback. Glad that something like this exists since we can't ger a great deal of satisfaction from the dealer on an issue with our vehicle. Car has 2500 miles on it,purchased in April of 15. The issue is the the car, when stopped has this sudden surge that seems like someone rear-ended you! Does not occur at speed only when stopped. It occurs randomly and there is no given situation that triggers the problem. have had it back to the dealer twice without any resolution. They said the computer module was reprogramed but it still occurs. They had it for 10 days and still have no answers. Since this is my wifes every day driver, she is concerned about the saftey as myself. has anyone on this forum experienced anything similar and what was the possible cause? Very frustrated because the car is wonderful except for this issue. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Welcome aboard! Can you describe what you mean by a "sudden surge?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakmike Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 The car lunges but no movement. The brake is applied so the car does not actually advance. It feels like you have been rear ended. Seems like it only occurs when the a/c is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
