Some Subaru Tribeca owners report experiencing acceleration jerking issues even after computer reprogramming and radiator replacement. These problems may be attributed to faulty wiring harnesses and connectors, which can lead to jerking during acceleration. Additionally, a dirty fuel filter or low fuel pressure has been noted as potential causes for similar jerking sensations. Some owners also identify problems with the mass air flow sensor or ignition coil as contributors to the issue. Transmission problems, including a failing torque converter or valve body, may further exacerbate the jerky driving experience. Other factors, such as faulty spark plugs, clogged fuel injectors, a failing fuel pump, or a dirty MAF sensor, could also be involved. To address these concerns, a thorough inspection of these components is recommended to identify the exact source of the acceleration jerking problem.
