Default 2018 Outback, Engine Bucking

Name:

Make: 2018 Outback 3.6l

Mileage: 45k

Time Out Of Use: 1 day

Problem And Likely Cause: car hesitated and bucked on acceleration. No check engine light. Sounded like transmission issue but turned out to be a loose spark coil. The bolt was entirely back out and the coil came off the plug. Dealer repair completed.

Modifications: None

Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No): Yes

Reason Given For Denial: For some reason they believed I had work done on the engine

Your Story: The engine was never touched, changed oil and filters, that's all! Total repair cost $250, it does not seem to be worth fighting about warranty. But it was obviously a Factory workmanship issue
