My 2014 Crosstrek had its
My 2014 Crosstrek had its engine rebuilt under the oil consumption program. It has a 6-speed manual transmission and currently 35,110 miles. Ever since the rebuild at 21,140, it is sluggish and hesitates during acceleration, often pausing until approximately 2500-3000 rpm, then it acts fine. The dealer recently replaced the clutch under warranty thinking that was the issue, but the clutch replacement did not cure the hesitation issue. The dealer now states that the engine rebuild used more robust rings and pistons, and that I should drive it more like a sports car. Since I am the computer brain controlling shifting because I have a manual, not CVT, the fly-by-wire action for shifting may not be as smooth (It definitely is not). I'm getting ready to file a complaint with Subaru since they originally provided me with a faulty product that didn't respond well to their repair. It did not have the hesitation issue prior to the engine rebuild. Anyone else experience this problem?
