My 2024 Crosstrek with 3500 miles does the hesitation thing when accelerating from a dead stop. It is at the dealer right now and they called to say there is nothng wrong. It is a dangerous situation when you expect to move in traffic and you do not! I agree with the gentleman who said they couldn't believe that Subaru would contend with such a dangerous issue. It is even more frustrating as a woman because , you know, the service guys just look at you like you're crazy. They should admit to the problem and admit it cannot be repaired. I would respect Subaru far more if they did.

Have you still got the engine pal

If you pull the tab it may come out further?

It's smooth plastic the whole way around the inside so I don't think so. It's too small to even put a piece of chewing gum in so i don't know what could even fit in there with a purpose.

does it hide the screws? holding the pocket in?
