WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE FROM PARK, OR FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE OR VICE VERSA THERE IS A DELAY OF APPROXIMATELY THREE SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. ON A HILL, THE CAR STARTS TO ROLL IF THE FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. I HAVE ASKED SUBARU TO CORRECT THIS, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS TRANSMISSION AND THAT THEY WILL NOT CORRECT IT. WHILE IT MAY NOT BE A MAJOR DEFECT THAT WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY, IT REPRESENTS A RISK TO THE PEOPLE AND CARS AROUND THE VEHICLE.
