NHTSA Complaint #10967273 — 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK

AS EXIT MY LEVEL GARAGE THE DRIVEWAY IS ON AT 9% DOWN SLOPE WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND BACK UP OUT OF THE GARAGE AND THEN PLACE THE CAR TO DRIVE TO MOVE BACK UP THE DRIVEWAY TO LOAD MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILD THE CAR SLIPS BACKWARDS BETWEEN ONE AND 3 FEET OR THREE SECONDS OF HIS FULL SLIPPAGE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER AT TWO YEARS OF AGE DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CAR WILL SLIP BACK WITHOUT CONTROL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND CAN CAUSE CRITICAL HARM TO HER AND/OR MY WIFE. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAS ALMOST ZERO SLIPPAGE FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THIS CHARACTERISTIC ON THE 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK CREATES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND IF SAFETY IS YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN I FIND THIS A BIG SAFETY CHARACTERISTIC AND IF I KNEW THIS BEFORE I WOULD NOT HAVE LEASED THIS VEHICLE.
