general problems of the 2013 Subaru Impreza

The contact owns a 2013 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that while reversing into the garage they pulled forward to adjust their vehicle after doing so they paced the vehicle back into reverse and pressing the acceleration pedal slightly. The contact stated that the vehicle revved up and reversed into the garage. The contact attempted to press the brakes however the brakes failed. The contact attempted to drive forward when the vehicle revved up again. The contact attempted to press the brakes however they failed again. Before the vehicle went into someone else yard the vehicle stopped. The air bags did not deploy. The contact had injuries to their knee and chest area. No medical attention was not needed. There was damage to their home. There was no police report. The contact's insurance had the vehicle towed to a repair shop who was not able to find a cause for the failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer who too was unable to identify. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage 95,000.

Slowing down to pull into a parking space when I put my foot on the brake to shift into park, the car lurched forward and accelerated over a parking barrier and into a brick wall. Unexplained acceleration. This was not driver error. I felt a few unexplained accelerations previously but thought it was a mistake on my end. In this instance, my foot was nowhere near the acceleration pedal. It was very very frightening. I am now waiting for the insurance adjusters. My car was damaged. I damaged the building and another car tat was parked inside the building. This is a significant safety issue.

On (3) separate occasions, my 2013 Subaru Impreza unintentionally accelerated while I was driving (in motion). Each time (shortly after), I took my car to the Subaru dealership in glen mills, PA for inspection. Those dates are: 6/25/16, 1/16/20, 2/27/21. Each time the mechanic was unable to locate the problem. The first incident (2016), I was driving to work (within 3 minutes of home). The car was traveling at about 25 miles an hour. I panicked (hit the accelerator harder), but was able to brake and regain control of the car. The second incident (2020) , I had just left work, was traveling about 35 miles an hour, and the car accelerated as before. Again, I was able to regain control of the car by braking like normal. The third time (2021), I was about halfway home (from work) traveling about 35 miles an hour and the car accelerated. I was able to brake like normal and regain control of the car. Each incident was similar in the sense that it "felt like the car was possessed". It reminded me of a car wash when the car first moves on its own. It felt different from simply "traveling faster". I also mentioned to the mechanic that my car sometimes "lunges" at a red light. This occasionally occurs when I first start the car. A few times I needed to push hard on the brake so it didn't advance forward and hit the back of another car. As a result, I try to "warm up" my car a short while before driving. I don't know if the "lunging" relates to the other incidents. I am attaching the paperwork from the dealership. All (3) reports are included in the single pdf. Please contact me if you need more detail or have questions.

Car was parked directly in front of residential garage. I started the car to pull it into the garage. As soon as I put the car in drive, with my foot still on the brake, it shot forward at full speed and crashed into a trailer at the back of the garage. The impact from the trailer broke a hole in the garage wall. Total distance traveled was about 25'.

Car throws a p2138 code and car goes in limp mode with the accelerator pedal non-responsive. Have to pull over and reset ecu to get back on road. Have replaced accelerator pedal, throttle body, relay, and ecm at Subaru dealership. Happened dozens of times. Car has been completely stock and cobb accessport tuned to stage 1. Happens tuned and stock. Happens sometimes immediately upon startup and other times while maintaining 70mph lm the highway. Happened when I was out of gear coasting to a stop sign. Random occurrence. Subaru has no solution.

Driving up a slight grade into home garage I depressed the accelerator very slightly . The car shot suddenly forward and footbrake did not respond. Car sideswiped other car and broke thru rear panel of garage before I could stop it with handbrake. Major damage to front end of car.

While my son was driving in the 95 north suddenly the car lock out! my son brought the car to garavel Subaru garage in norwalk CT. Where diego who is the service manager at garavel Subaru took care of it, that was on November 18/2017 until approximately 11/28 or 29 2017! when he pick up the car at gravel Subaru, the car the the same thing with the clutch again! my some brought again the car to the garage on December 23/2017- until January 4/2018,who was check again and the come up that the car doesn't have any thing wrong.

And the clutch did again, lock out!!! he brought the car again on January 28 on or about 2018 and currently there! please investigate!.

While on the brake pedal, the vehicle accelerated. This happened on two separate occasions; both while my foot was on the brake pedal. The first time this happened, I was on my brake at a red light (stationary) and the second time, after I went over a small "lip" on the asphalt, I was braking to park in front of a house when it accelerated substantially, causing extensive damage to the house and car, while almost killing me.

We were pulling into a parking place, turning the wheel and the car unexpected leaped forward. This has occurred now 5 times--all times moving slowly forward, turning the wheel as we tried to park. This has occurred with both my partner driving, and with myself driving. So far we have managed to slam on the brakes in time--and they stopped the car. But we fear crashing or accidentally hurting someone.
