Car Forum / Subaru Cars / January 20082007 Legacy 2.5 GT sedan sometimes sluggish
I've noticed that, at times, my acceleration seems sluggish or impaired. I have the 5-speed automatic, and, usually leave the performance setting in "S" mode. The car is usually peppy and responsive, quite often revving up over 3-4 grand with a slight press on the pedal, and zipping along. But, at times, the car seems to be being held back, and, unless I floor the pedal, it seems to be limiting itself to 2-2.5 grand. This has happened at odd times, both when the engine is cold (blue light on, disallowing SI mode) and hot, but, it happens after I start the car and for the period of driving until I turn it off again, not during driving. I have the 11,750 checkup next Saturday, so am going to mention this behavior, but, is this something known, or unique? Thanks! > I've noticed that, at times, my acceleration seems sluggish or impaired. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Thanks! Hmmm....maybe not related but I will mention reading about folks feeling odd hesitation or bucking when decelerating at around 2-2.5K rpms. Dunno if its related though. And it was in previous year models, though still 'recent'. just fyi Carl  Signatureto reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) I've read of that, and don't know if it's the same or not. Will mention it to the dealer, Saturday, though...

Guy at the Subaru parts desk the other day said the drive by wire in his MY05 can be a bit touchy at times. ~Brian I'm sure it has something to do with than. I had horrible problems in my 2006 Outback with acceleration in general, that Subaru could never fix. I don't think they have it right, yet...

Hi, Is this random or does it have certain pattern. You may be experiencing flat spot? For instance, yesterday...I first drove the car out of the garage at ~1130, and, it felt sluggish. Went to a restaurant to eat lunch, and, on the way back home, it felt normal, again. Previous times, it felt normal during the initial drive, and then sluggish on a later drive. It's Winter, so, it's colder than normal, but, yesterday was in high 40's (we live in Denver, CO, area). Thanks. >> I've noticed that, at times, my acceleration seems sluggish or impaired. >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Is this random or does it have certain pattern.
