I have a 2005 Forester with a shifting problem which the dealer can't fix. It will intermitantly decelerate for a moment when I'm pushing down moderately further on the accelerator and it tries to decide what gear to be in then downshifts to second gear which is too low for the situation because the RPMs go too high and you get no acceleration. I live with this and have adjusted my passing technique accordingly. But now I hear that the 2006 Forester has addressed this problem and I would like to hear from any 2006 (or 2007) owners about how their cars shift and if any problems like mine. The car is perfect otherwise and I would trade if I knew that would solve this one problem. Mine is not a turbo. Thanks very much.
