We have had three accidents involving the same thing. You can't seem to slow the car down enough to stop it. Two of the times, we have pulled into a parking place,going at a low speed,and when you step on the brake,the car accelerates and jumps forward instead of stopping. Also the air bags doesn't come on.

Periodically the vehicle will not accelerate for 3-5 seconds from a standing stop when the gas pedal is depressed . This is well documented in several subaru user groups on the internet. When pulling into busy traffic this problem is terrifying. The car will just not accelerate. The car was returned to the dealer and, as expected, he could find nothing wrong. We told the dealer that the problem may only occur once…

Last incident, 9/27/2015, backed out of parking space, then shifted into forward, did not use accelerator because cold engine speed was high enough to maintain 5mph through very congested parking lot. 20 seconds later attempted to…

I need to pursue a critical problem that the dealer is unable to re-create/solve. Approximately a dozen times(10 by my wife and 3 by me), we've turned left from a stop(typically at a red-light) only for the car to stall from 3 to 6 seconds. The 3 times i was driving, my wife and a grandchild were on the passenger side and narrowly missed a direct side impact. The problem is intermittent, we don't drive with our left…

The vehicle is a model year 2014 and was purchased brand new, less than seven [7] months ago (from the date this complaint was posted). The vehicle has only approximately 9,000 miles…

Then the power comes on late and hard, and the vehicle goes over the crest of the hill accelerating at peak power level, 2-3 mph above set point. An associated issue, observed since the car was…
