THIS VEHICLE HAS ONE OWNER, WHICH IS ME, AND THE TRANSMISSION, DOWNSHIFTS AND SKIPS A GEAR WHEN COLD AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. PEOPLE WERE ALMOST INJURED AND SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD, AND ON A FREEWAY AND THAN EXITING, AND SLOWING DOWN TO 35 TO 45 MPH ON EXIT THE CAR TRANSMISSION KICKS AND LIKE SOMEONE IS HITTING YOU IN THE BACK, AND SKIPS A GEAR. SUBARU HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND THEY NEED TO ADDRESS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT WORK. I WILL BE FILING LEMON LAW IN MY NEXT TWO VISITS IF IT IS NOT FIXED. *TR
