While changing from reverse to drive (foot on brake) the vehicle hesitates very badly especially on a hill- pressing on the gas pedal when in drive does not move it forward until the hesitation is over - very scary. Dealer was informed of this shortly after purchase in dec 2013 - he said subaru was aware of the problem and were working on a fix - is this true?

Even under normal use of the cruise control the eyesight system does not engage the brakes slowly in a progressive pattern it hits them abruptly. I am in a congested area and have often had to override the system by hitting the brakes…

After i purchased my vehicle, i noticed a hesitation between 20 - 40 mph. This is the first year for the forester's to have a cvt engine so i thought it needed broken in.
