Takata inflators. While driving we noticed the speed control system stopped functioning, it would not activate or engage. We pulled over and turned off the engine, after about 1 minute we started up and once on the road it was working fine for about 5 miles or so then stopped again. Then the abs light along with other instrument lights would come on. When we got home we called a mechanic and advised we bring it in,…

The eyesight system turns on and off intermittently. The vehicle is traveling at speed and all of sudden it is not. The windshield was clear and it was not raining. The vehicle was traveling in a straight line. This has been an ongoing issue which the dealer is unable to resolve.

Then when stopped the engine reved up and i did not take my foot off brake. The engine seemed to roar like in a very low gear. I checked gears and put it in neutral, then park and reverse, engine still roaring. But as my foot…

While pulling my father-in-laws subaru outback into my garage i place the vehicle into drive while applying the brake. The car immediately accelerated while my foot was on the brake. The car proceeded into garage first hitting the side of the garage door frame and then into the back of my other car which was parked inside the garage. I instinctively applied greater pressure on the brake but this did not stop the…

Unintended acceleration. When driving at low speeds--what would traditionally be 1st and 2nd gear (the car has a continually variable transmission)--and while keeping constant pressure on the gas pedal, the transmission changes the acceleration of the vehicle on its own in a process that feels like it can't find the right "gear", and it provides a "jerking" feeling (usually only a couple of "jerks"). Yet the…

Cruise control (cc) caused what i thought at the time of the incident was unintended acceleration. Operation of cc is different from any cc i used in the past. The cc was already engaged and i was going about 40 mph on a highway. I decided to increase my speed, so i pressed the 'set +' button. After a couple of seconds when i reached 43 mph, i released the button. The car continued to accelerate to 70 mph. Luckily…

I was slowing pulling into a parking space and just straightening out the car when i heard a strange sound coming from the engine. Immediately after that i heard a very loud engine revving sound and then suddenly the vehicle shot forward like a rocket, went over the cement barrier and into the wall of a building. It seemed like a very high rate of speed, though the distance was only about 8 feet. The seat belt did…

Accelerator suddenly became unresponsive resulting in complete slowdown to stop in traffic. Had to shut off vehicle and restart numerous time to get to safe location. Resulted in expensive fix and could have been disastrous if occurred during highway/heavy traffic situation. Apparently was a sensor of some sort. Happened a while ago, so date provided is approximate, but i just became aware of this site. *tr
