2005 Subaru Forester automatic transmission the car lurches upon starting out especially in the morning. You press on the accelerator--car does not move, then suddenly lurches as the transmission slams into gear, so there is little control on the part of the driver--you do not know when the car will move and/or how.. when take foot off accelerator car lurches forward again--with no driver control. The car slams into gear without warning. This has been happening now regularly for the past 2 months. Brought the car into the dealer on Jan 14--they said they found the problem, "reprogrammed" it and said all was fine. It wasn't--brought the car back yesterday--they kept it overnight and they said everything is ok--it is not. Car is still out of control. I have been reading similar stories on edmunds. Com Subaru forum for this year and even older model Subaru Foresters. Subaru denies there is an issue--I called them this afternoon and wrote to them a few weeks back, too. Thanks.
