Boo42 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Got a new Outback on the recommendation of what used to be my favorite son in law. Is there a stupid newbie forum here? Maybe with some advice for a newbie he can be my favorite son in law again. Thanks, Boo, a stupid newbie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo42 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 When trying to maintain a constant slow speed it jerks or lurches. 25-30 mph I have to wake my foot off the gas, let it settle then apply gas again. Salesman says it takes a little getting used to. Is it normal and it's me, is it the cvt or is there a problem with the car? Never had a cvt before so I don't know what's normal with it. I want to ask in the proper forum. That's why I'm looking for a newbie section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirian Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have about 600 miles on mine now and only notice it when going slow through the parking lot at work. I've read a few forums that say it's normal or that after a while it gets smoother after the first 1000 miles or so. I'm not entirely sure. I've adjusted my driving a bit, I was used to Chevy's and ford's before this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo42 Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Update: Took it to dealer because battery died. Service tech confirmed jerking wasnt normal. Found computer signaling EGR valve to turn on at low speeds. We'll see what Subaru Tech support says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
