When pulling away from a stop the car will lurch, much like we used to say was happening when the car went into gear. Happens every two or three days. Dealer says nothing is wrong. I say he's wrong.

Asked by GuruCFBT Apr 13, 2017 at 08:12 PM about the 2016 Subaru Outback

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Nothing indicates what would replicate the experience. Rain or heat or needs
to get warmed up or. Nothing is constant among the situations. It just,
periodically has this lurch.

i have a 2004 outback 3.0 that started overheating 3 days after i purchased it. I had the obveous replaced; heat sensor. radiater cap. When I went to rewplace the thermostate I found that it had been removed. Put in an after market therm and it didn;t change situation. I replaced water pump. That didn't work. Situation now is that the two upper hoses get hot quickly and are under pressure; lower hose is much cooler and not pressureized.Logic dictates either a bad therm (but it overheated even when the therm was removed) or a bad radiator (but the radiator seemed to pass water freely when I had it out. I understand there is a chemical that detects carbon in cooling system. Seems that should be my next step to rule out hg. I also understand that heater plays a roll in cooling system but not sure how much it would effect water temp and pressure. Any suggestions would be appreciated 2 Answers
