just dropped the impreza back off at the dealer this morning. its crazy, the car will act up on me all week long and then drop it off and take the mechanic for a drive and nothing. it bucks and jerks in 1,2, and 3rd with light accell and ac compressor running. heres hoping they will at least give it a good attempt this time.

Which dealership in Portland? Is the car still under warranty?

it was at royal moore. i got it back this afternoon and they convienently cant duplicate the ac belt squeal when cold, poor remote function and when i showed them the bucking and jerking with the compressor on they said that it is normal but they have never seen one this violent before. they did try to reassure me that is is normal. i dont think it is but what can ya do. it only has about 40 miles till the warrenty is up.

um, a slight hesitation might be normal, but not bucking and jerking...

 

I had a bucking and jerking problem with my Fozzy, but it turned out to just be oily plug wires... was without the ac on, and only at low rpm under a load...

 

richie figured that one out for me... as usual... (:
