1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2025

Car was being driven on the highway in cruise control, when the cruise control turned off and the car began to decelerate. When the gas pedal was pressed, the rpms shot up but there was no acceleration. The car was pulled over, turned off, and we were not able to turn it on again. The car was towed to a shop, where they were able to identify the engine wasn’t working but not the root cause, and also mentioned the possibility of there being a transmission problem. We then brought it to a Subaru dealer, and they said a similar thing without being able to diagnose anything more specific. This car is 8 years old and has had routine, consistent maintenance the entire time. The surprise of an engine failure with no warning is very alarming and dangerous.

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

I had backed my car up to the front of the garage. I came to a complete stop. As I tried to put my car in park, my vehicle catapulted into the garage which was directly behind it. I believe my car experienced "sudden uninterrupted acceleration". My cinder block garage partially collapsed and need to be completely razed.

3 Adaptive Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2020

My vehicle developed a crack that has transversed the entirety of the windshield, necessitating its replacement. The crack began on the lower left (driver's) side and moved across to the right (passenger's) side before curving back and upward toward the location of the rearview mirror. This has obscured the eye sight cameras and impaired the safety mechanisms in the vehicle. The vehicle was parked when the crack began with no precipitating damage observed to the windshield. The crack continued to grow over the course of several days. ~`````````````.
