general problems of the 2019 Subaru Outback

I was driving on I-95 south in georgia on Thursday, 18 December at approximately 9:00 pm in my 2019 Subaru Outback (6 cylinder engine). There was good visiblity and dry road conditions. I did not have the cruise control on. I was traveling at 75 mph and wanted to pass a truck. As I increased my speed to 78 mph to pass the truck, the Subaru began to accelerate to 85 mph and my rpms went up to 4000. The car continued to accelerate. I checked the cruise control and it was in fact off. I felt with my foot to make sure the accelerator was not stuck and it was not. I pushed hard on the brakes to counter the acceleration and after about 1 minute the car became controllable again. I drove the rest of my trip going 70 mph and did not have a further incident that evening. Because of the traffic ahead of me, this acceleration caused me great concern for myself and the passenger in the car. I have not had this problem before and have not reported it to my Subaru dealer yet. No one else has examined the car since this incident yesterday. I did not receive any warning lights or dashboard messages prior to the incident.

While turning into a parking spot my wife had foot on the brake and vehicle accelerated over parking bumpers and into a fence and ultimately was stopped by a combination of a tree and the fence car drove through. This collision prevented her from crossing pedestrian sidewalk and continuing into southbound traffic lane of state hwy. This incident put not only my wife at risk but also potentially any pedestrians or southbound vehicles. There were no system failures or warnings prior to my wife's arrival to her appointment. As mentioned this occurred within an approximate 5 second time frame. It is unknown as to what if any warnings occurred prior to/during the crash as my wife was pushing the brake to park when the sudden acceleration occurred. The braking system seems to have failed along with the sudden acceleration. The automatic braking system didn't engage, nor did the parking collision system. All our other Subaru's (including this vehicle have the collision warning and automatic braking systems) the dealership did not try to replicate the incident but all warning systems appear to be functioning correctly at this time. Following the accident I first reported the incident to my dealership where I purchased the vehicle. The initial damage estimate is forthcoming but Subaru tech indicated it will be may thousands of dollars to repair. I will follow-up next with Subaru's national customer care (per conversation with dealer) at the dealership (southern oregon Subaru) I had a safety/drive-ability inspection performed. Vehicle was given a clearance to drive, but obviously my wife refuses to drive it. Subsequent to the accident, we learned there are over 200 similar reports to NHTSA for this exact issue. We will also submit claim to insurance provider usaa.

Purchased a low mileage, 2019 Subaru Outback limited, had 16,407 miles on vehicle, had accident damage reported by carfax. At 27,383 miles an oil leak in valve cover gasket was discovered, Subaru fixed leak under warranty, engine removed. Upon driving the vehicle home following repairs, the car lunged forward through the garage door, into the garage, and damaged vehicle and garage interior as I approached the garage. Sudden acceleration occurred. Vehicle taken on flag bed to Subaru shop for repairs and investigation of incident by Subaru of America. Insurance company provided damage/repair estimate.

I had a driver-side mirror damaged in a small crash. The wiring harness for the mirror was pulled from its location. The mirror was replaced, and the wiring harness was not to my knowledge. Since that repair, the vehicled dynamic cruise control, called eyesight has failed more than 50 times. I have had the vehicle at the dealer 2 times. They concluded yesterday the unit checked out. I drove it for 5 minutes, and it failed again. I believe it could be related to them not replacing the wiring harness. They believe it may be related to a new windshield, which I find it hard to believe. They recalibrated the eyesight with the non-oem windshield. Subaru technicians believe it is related to the non-oem windshield, and I am having a brand new windshield replaced with the oem windshield. Which I also believe is inferior because of cracks in my orginal windshield.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated while at a complete stop with foot on the brakes, it automatically accelerated. There were no warning lights on the instrument panel.

Sudden acceleration defect has occurred several times with last incident Friday 21jan2022. Each time I have had the brake pedal engaged, yet vehicle fails to stop, and accelerates on it’s own, causing me to go through stop signs with potentially dangerous outcomes for pedestrians, other vehicles, barriers. Dealer appointment rescheduled for Monday 24jan2022. No inspections to date. No warnings- the first time I thought I may have caused it by accidentally touching the accelerator, but now I know that is not the case. First occurrence was in Dec 2021, exact date not known, happened in a parking lot.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that while driving at a slow rate of speed and parking the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration causing the driver to loose control and crash into a brick wall. During the incident the brake pedal was pressed but the vehicle did not stop. The driver sustained a left shoulder injury. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was not yet towed. A police report was taken at the scene. The cause of the failure was not determined. The contact indicated that previously the vehicle had experienced unintended acceleration problems while driving at highway speeds with and without cruise control activated. In addition on several occasions the collision avoidance system had erroneously activated while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicated the failures and no service was performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 24,000.

I experienced sudden and unintended acceleration as I sat outside my garage idling with my foot on the brake waiting for the garage door to open. My car accelerated forward through my garage door and into the garage. It swept aside a refrigerator, freezer and a 700 pound safe that was bolted to the concrete floor. It finally stopped upon pushing several things against one of the I beams that hold the steel building up. The car also tore out the I beam support the side of the garage door upon entering. The tires continued to rotate until I turned off the engine.

Certain year models of Subaru vehicles suffer from ‘sudden and unexpected acceleration’. We know since it has happened to us and, research shows, many, many other people. Waiting for the automatic garage door to open, the vehicle experienced the sudden and uncontrollable acceleration. This resulted in extensive damage to the vehicle, garage and contents in the garage. What will Subaru do when this happens at a crosswalk?.

Stop at a light some times when the green light come on an the vehicle in front move the vehicle accelerate and not only at red lights some times when following vehicles my vehicle slow down and when the other vehicle move my accelerate by himself.

As I was reversing out of my driveway riding the brake the car accelerated full throttle and wouldn't stop. The result was I hit a tree. I am thankful it was not a pedestrian or another person.

There was always issue with the brakes, not able to control the speed when needed. Spoke with the service agents and they mentioned everything is good. But I had experienced the speed issue in several occasions.

The windshield of my 2019 Subaru Outback spontaneously cracked. I was driving down a highway at about 50 mph, with no one in front of me or coming the other way. The windshield was not hit by road debris or anything of the sort. There was just a loud "pop". The eyesight functionality is now inconsistent as the crack extended from 6 inches to across the whole windshield in a few hours. The temperature was not below freezing and was about 45-50 degrees. The costs to replace a windshield like this are exorbitant because of all of the "safety" features and re-calibrating involved. I brought the problem to the attention of my local Subaru dealer and was told it is not covered under warranty. I inquired about known defects with the windshield and was told there are no defects with the windshields in the Subaru Outback 2019.

A couple days ago when I was driving on a back road and using cruise @35mph, the car for no reason suddenly started breaking as if to avoid a collision. Nothing was in front of me, not even an oncoming car at a distance. No one was behind me. My response was to manually apply the brake and that kicked out cruise. I haven't had it happen again. Is that something that can happen when using cruise at low speeds? if it were to happen at highway speeds, it could be quite dangerous. . .

Navigation system failure! I have 3200 miles on my 2019 Outback and since day 1 have had problems using the nav system. The system freezes up completely causing everything not work radio back up camera etc. Systems stays on at night draining battery. It sporadically works and works less and less every day had a dead battery already on a 2019 vehicle.
