Does anyone experience occasional jerking or strong drag while driving the 2021 Outlander at around 70 km/h? It's like tapping the brakes a few times. Have you encountered this issue?

Hey fellow drivers, just wanted to ask if any of you experience a strong drag when you let off the gas at low speeds, especially around 20 mph? It feels like the regenerative braking in electric cars. Have you guys encountered this issue?

I recently got a 2013 1.4T VW Touran with 110,000 km on it. It's been owned by one person before me. Currently, the big electric fan isn't working, but the small one still is, and the water temperature isn't high. I'm planning to replace it in a few days. The only issue right now is a whistling noise in 5th gear at 70-80 km/h. It doesn't happen in 4th gear, only in 5th when I accelerate, and it stops when I release the gas. 🙂‍?️ Seeking advice from experts—is this a transmission problem?

Why do I feel a strong drag when I release the accelerator? Does anyone else experience this? I have a 2024 Forester 2.5 with less than 1000 kilometers. What could be the reason? Looking for advice.

I have a question for everyone. Occasionally, when opening the door of my 2021 Subaru Outback, the hazard lights flash a few times accompanied by a beeping sound, then it disappears. There's no indicator light on the dashboard, and there's no issue while driving. What could be the reason for this? I've been driving it for a few years and it's the first time I've encountered this situation.

2021 Outlander Vehicle Odor Issue. Background: Recently, the car was parked in an underground garage for a month, and the garage was somewhat damp. Situation: An unpleasant odor, like a musty and rotten smell, has started to accumulate inside the car. Self-assessment: I've checked the interior but couldn't find the source of the smell. I also replaced the air conditioning filter, and the air blowing out doesn't have any odor. However, as soon as the car is parked for half a day and I get back in, there is a strong smell in the cabin. The car has never been submerged in water or flooded before. Question: Has anyone experienced a similar issue and can provide some guidance on how to deal with this?

My 2018 automatic ZS sometimes shakes when waiting at a red light after the vehicle warms up. Between 60 to 100 km/h, the car feels like it's being pulled back, and there's a strong jerking sensation. If I press the accelerator hard to over 3000 RPM, the jerking stops. Using cruise control to accelerate also avoids the shaking. Is this a transmission issue?

When slowly accelerating at low speeds, the V60 B4 2024 model experiences noticeable jerking and dragging.

Hi fellow car enthusiasts, I have a 1.6 CVT that's been running for ten years with over 60,000 kilometers. Last month, I just did maintenance, changed the transmission fluid and spark plugs. It was running fine for the first few days, but recently it's been jerking occasionally when I lightly press the accelerator. It's similar to a manual car when you give gas without fully releasing the clutch. The engine goes "woo-woo-woo," and the whole car shakes a bit, but the speed doesn’t increase. Then, when I press the accelerator harder, it goes back to normal. Does anyone know what might be happening?

Since I got the car, I’ve driven it a few times on intercity highways and elevated city roads. At first, fuel consumption was quite high — around 12 L/100 km — but after some regular use, it dropped to 7.8. It hasn’t gone any lower since then, even though I’ve only driven about 500 km in less than a month. Honestly, every time I refuel, it stings a little 😅. This is my first car, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but driving feels smooth overall. Once you hit 100 km/h, tire noise becomes noticeable, but throttle response during overtaking is pretty decent. The thing that annoyed me most is the infotainment system. There’s no built-in CarPlay, so I bought an external adapter. While it technically works, Bluetooth is unstable, and the navigation voice won’t come through the car speakers. On top of that, the system randomly activates and starts saying weird things, and the voice assistant sometimes greets you with “Hi” and other times with “I’m here” — honestly, it feels awkward. I’m not sure if all Japanese brands do this, or just this one. As for interior space, the rear seat area is quite good, but the new car smell is still strong, so I’ve thrown in a bunch of charcoal bags to absorb it. Overall, I’m satisfied for a first car, but there are definitely things that could be better.
