general problems of the 2015 Subaru Crosstrek

I started the car up in a parking spot located in [xxx]. When I shifted it into drive, it immediately took off, and when I repeatedly hit the brake, it wouldn't stop. It hit a parked car about a car and a half length in front of me, which hit another parked car in front of it; both were damaged. The front of my car was severely damaged, and the engine shut down. I was able to start it up and move it back to its original parking spot and shut it down. A police report was filed by a [xxx] police officer at the scene of the accident, incident number: xxx it has been towed to v&j auto body in [xxx], tel: [xxx]. I understand there have been incidents of suas(sudden unexpected accelerations) with several Subaru models. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Caliper seized and caught on fire, front passenger side. Was told by mechanic second crosstreck this week with same problem.

I was driving on a 2 lane highway going 55mph. My knee bumped the steering column and at that moment the dash went blank, I lost power steering and brakes. I was able to pull over onto the shoulder before the steering locked up. I had no idea what had just happened. After awhile I discovered the car would restart and drove the remaining 20 miles home with no problem. It wasn't until I called the dealer the next day and looked online that I realized what had happened. I'm short , 5�1� and had the steering column at the lowest position and the seat forward. I've moved the column to the next setting higher and believe this problem is now unlikely to recur. The lowest column position should be eliminated . Dangerous!!.

At 37,801 miles, the brake switch component failed on my 2015 Subaru xv Crosstrek. The hill assist, abs, and traction control lights all came on. When I parked the vehicle and shut it off, it refused to come out of park, leaving the vehicle stranded. This appears to be a known issue with this part, however, there is no recall at this time.
