Please read upload documents. My 2015 subaru outback began showing signs of excessive oil consumption in the summer 2018. Apparently this was a known problem with subaru and class action lawsuit was filed against subaru for models made prior to 2015. My vehicle failed a oil consumption test in the fall of 2018. I was told by white bear subaru if the vehicle failed an oil consumption test subaru of america would pay…

Fuel/Propulsion System
Gas pedal sensor dose not respond on take off from stopped vehicle. Have almost been t-bone 5-6 times. Also from a cost to putting pressure on pedal it fails to respond. On left turns you are a sitting duck not knowing if pedal will respond or you are sitting out in front of some closing in on you at high rate speed . This has happened 10 -12 times on highways an city streets

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…

I warmed the car up and drove to shoprite. Twenty minutes later i returned to the car to put the stuff away to go home. When i pressed the button to start the car only the radio started and the message flashed keyless start up deactivated see manual. I saw the manual could, just about understand it, did what it told me nothing changed. I called roadside assistance at subaru and the lady said it was my battery even…

The vehicle is equipped with the 3.6r engine and a continuously variable transmission. When descending a long hill in a fixed gear ratio (usually 2nd or 3rd) the vehicle slows normally until the rpm reaches approximately 1200 rpm at which point the vehicle suddenly begins accelerating until the rpm reaches approximately 2500 rpm at which point the process repeats. I observe the "mpg" suddenly drop at the same time…

When the engine is cold, the idle speed is 1600 rpm when started. When placed in reverse or drive it reduces to a nominal 900-1000 rpm. When the vehicle starts to move it suddenly drops to 600 rpm. When braking to a stop after moving vehicle the rpm suddenly jumps to 900-1000 rpm just before vehicle halts. This causes sudden unexpected acceleration of the vehicle and presents a safety hazard. I believe this is due…
