general problems of the 2015 Subaru Forester - part 2

Since I bought the car new, when at intersections or stop signs, car hesitates and stumbles on acceleration when requiring instant acceleration to avoid collision with on coming traffic. I reported this to Subaru dealers and told there is no problem. Vehicle does this intermittently but scares the hell out of me not knowing if the car is going to accelerate or not and get hit by on coming traffic.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Subaru Forester. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate when pressing the accelerator pedal. During the incident the dashboard warning lights illuminated and the message check engine displayed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer jones junction Subaru located at 1317 belle aire rd. Belle aire, MD. Who diagnosed that the accelerator pedal was faulty. The accelerator pedal was replaced and the failure was remedied. Approximately 2 years and 12,000 miles later the same failure occurred. The vehicle was again towed to the local dealer who diagnosed the accelerator pedal had failed and needed to be replaced again. The contact was informed that the replacement pedal was a new and improved version. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 24,000/44,000. Jft.

When stopped in traffic car hesitates, stalls and stumbles to accelerate for a few seconds. Unable to shift from 1st to 2nd smoothly (stuck in 1st gear?). Was rear ended when unable to accelerate at light. Dealer did software update that did not fix problem, still ongoing.

The contact owns a 2015 Subaru Forester. While the vehicle was stopped with the brake pedal depressed and the gear shift in the drive position, the vehicle independently lunged forward without warning. On another occasion, while the vehicle was in the park position, it continued to rev. The failure recurred more than twelve times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was unable to be duplicated. The contact mentioned that the transmission was reprogrammed, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 18,000.

I'm having an issue with my 2015 Forester 2. 5i cvt that has nearly caused accidents, but when I took it in for service today I was dismissed without being helped. My car has about 24,700 miles on it, so it's thoroughly broken in and I'm used to the way the cvt works. In the past month or so, I've noticed bucking, shuddering, and power loss during initial acceleration from a stop. Sometimes this is just a little bumping, but other times it's a near total loss of power for several seconds, long enough to be very dangerous while accelerating or especially while turning. When I took the car in for service, the advisor there started to tell me that the behavior is normal even before anyone had started to look at the car. After a tech took it for a test drive, the advisor told me that my concerns "describe a perfect cvt" and he doesn't see a problem, and that it's expected behavior to have dangerous power loss like this. I was told that my problem is not a problem and sent away. Power loss like this during acceleration is clearly a problem, despite the claims of the Subaru employees, and I do not feel safe in this car. Subaru refuses to address this issue. The service advisor suggested that I avoid accelerating or turning any time power loss would be a danger or issue - this is clearly not an acceptable solution.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Subaru Forester. The contact stated while driving the vehicle during the daytime the speedometer is barley visible due to no illumination. The vehicle was to the dealer where it was diagnosed that it was standard for those models of vehicles. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 1,200. Kh.

From a full stop, a/c on, I began to accelerate at a green light. Car stopped acceleration at aprox. 2 miles per hour and coasted thru large intersection before accelerating again. I checked to see if the car was in drive and that the emergency brake was off. I took car to dealer who said no "error code" is available that would indicate a problem and they were unable to replicate the issue. Obviously there is an issue because another driver made this same report. This is a huge concern for me because 1) what happens if the car fails again when I pull into traffic with my kid in the car? and 2) I bought a Subaru because they are supposed to be safe and reliable. I'm seriously reconsidering my decision now.

2015 Subaru Forester made a right turn into parking space between 2 cars in a parking garage. Going uphill into the space when vehicle surged at great speed in a 10 ft distance hitting the wall at great speed, causing extensive front end damage, deploying airbags, and dislodging the front dashboard. The 2 cars on either side were not hit. The driver sustained lacerations to legs. The vehicle was repaired at lou fusz Subaru. The second event happed on 7/6/16 (25463 miles) in the same parking garage, near the same parking space. While turning into the parking space, the vehicle surged forward striking the wall at great speed. Though the front end was again damaged, the airbags did not deploy. The driver checked the NHTSA website. There were a dozen similar reports for 2015 the Subaru Forester while parking. Aneighbor with a 2015 Subaru legacy had three instances of unexpected accelerations. No cause was identified but repairs were made to the car at webster groves Subaru. It appears to have resolved the problem. The Subaru Forester was repaired at an independent body shop and then checked at webster groves Subaru. After speaking with the service manager of the dealership that sold the car to the driver (lou fusz), the Subaru corporation sent an independent mechanic (from bosch eea) to evaluate the car. The driver was told in an email that the report was proprietary information and no details of the evaluation were made available. The email only reported the lack of any problems found that could explain the unexpected surging while parking. The driver spoke with the service manager at webster groves Subaru. She was unable to help since no one had reproduced the problem. As far as Subaru was concerned, the car was normal and offered no further help. The car has not been driven since the second repairs were completed.
