Good idea and I have an appointment at the dealer today so I'll ask them about it. QUOTE=Rowlette;5826847]Check with your dealership about any programming updates which could be applied. Laughing at oneself and with others is good for the Soul![emoji2]

Parking brake is electric and at some point you'll need to disengage that electric brake. Which places you back in the same place, applying the left foot to the brake so the car can be maneuvered out of a parking space while on a hill.

Hm? You following me? https://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/138-gen-5-2015-2019/497843-my-transmission-correctly-working.html#post5686401

I never owned a car with a CVT so I don't know what the signs are of a good or bad CVT. This question applies to our recently purchased, off-lease, 2015 Outback Limited with 36,000 miles on it. Here are some examples of why I am asking: Taking off from a dead stop; sometimes the car will kind of lurch forward (as though a turbo was engaged); sometimes it doesn't seem to be taking off at all (engine revs seem to be going higher without the normal expected forward movement). Sometimes when the car goes from a dead stop it has a rolling effect, like it is catching but not but maybe but not. I can't say it is bucking and it is hard to define. My driveway is on a small grade (maybe 20%) and with my cars that had regular transmission, the trans would hold on the driveway. This car the trans will slide backward and I have to hold my left foot on the brake, right foot on gas so that I don't slide into the car parked behind me. I have no point reference and maybe this is just the way of a CVT?

I think it is written as SOP to have a charger on the battery when doing an update.

Put my new Weathertech mats in the car today and now all three cars have them. One thing that I can't figured out and that is...why are the pegs so tall. They are so tall I could install my OEM mats on top of the weathertech.

Hunting down a slight idle stumble with the AC on and decided to get the MAF spray out and give the MAF a cleaning. Much, much easier than doing it on a 1990's Subbie. On the 90's subbie ya had to pull the air box, with air box removed you remove from MAF. With this car you stand above the engine, remove two screws, pull out MAF and clean. I could do it it a white shirt and not get a spot on it. Did it clear the slight stumble? Maybe but not 100% sure but will know after driving for a day or two.

Yes, it is a closed system and is not meant to evaporate or leak.
