While driving eastbound on i-80 in iowa just east of exit 220 (williamsburg) our car lost power but, because it has a manual transmission, i was able to depress the clutch and coast to the left road margin. The low fuel indicator had come on a few miles before but the display indicator showed that we had sufficient fuel to drive 60 miles at the displayed average of 30.5 miles per gallon. This should have been…

I'm having an issue with my 2015 forester 2.5i cvt that has nearly caused accidents, but when i took it in for service today i was dismissed without being helped. My car has about 24,700 miles on it, so it's thoroughly broken in and i'm used to the way the cvt works. In the past month or so, i've noticed bucking, shuddering, and power loss during initial acceleration from a stop. Sometimes this is just a little…

I had my new vehicle only 4 days with 120 miles or so that i personally put on it. I was out one day and came to a stop sign and stopped. The car just powered down to not running at all. I put it in park, restarted, put it in drive to move on and it did it again. I put it in neutral and had someone push me to the other side of the road where i would be out of the way. This continued for about 5 times when finally it…

After i slow down to turn a corner this car occasionally pauses, or will not resume moving for a few seconds when i step on the gas. This has caused cars behind me to almost rear end me numerous times. It sometimes happens twice in one day then won't happen again for several weeks. I have taken it to the dealer but it has never done it on any of their test drives. This has occurred ever since i bought this car new.…
