Count me in too. I got mine yesterday and because of this message board I was cognizant of the issue. It's definitely there, although very subtle. If I didn't already know, I would have thought that the tranny was just being very slow to knock down from 2nd to 1st when doing a rolling start.

Easiest to notice when doing things like idling slowly through a parking lot or accelerating after going over speed bump -- all around 5-10 MPH.

A few times I lurched uncomfortably, but I consider it more of an annoyance than a safety issue at this point, but regardless, once I hear a PCM flash fix is out, I'll be one of the first in line.

Other than that, I have no complaints about the new Outback. The ride is sublime and the fit and finish is first class.
