Asked by Fmoran Aug 06, 2020 at 06:11 PM about the 2020 Subaru Forester 2.5i Limited AWD with Eyesight Package

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When driving on urban roads at 30 - 40 MPH the car seems like the gears are
skipping pausing for a 2-3 seconds.

When we turn off the car about 10-15 seconds later we hear a sound like the
engine is exhaling, with a gurgle in the middle. This last for 10 - 15 seconds

There are no "gears" (to be) "skipping", but maybe you have an errant CVT? Likewise "engine is exhaling, with a gurgle in the middle" is hopelessly nondescript, so indeed, get an outside pro opinion.
