I have a 2014 subaru outback with a 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine and cvt transmission. For years it has moments (a few times a week) where it hesitates to start. Nothing where I've ever had to jump it but you can tell it is struggling and it feels rough once it does start. Battery has been checked multiple times - all good. Spark plugs replaced in the last couple of years. Also, in the last couple of months I've noticed some vibrating under my seat and foot when coming to a stop or when shifting into reverse. All brake pads and rotors have been replaced recently. I wonder if this is more of an idleing or engine issue, and if these things could be related. Thanks for your thoughts.
