2021 Subaru Forester acceleration complaints

Filed Jun 18, 2022 · Acceleration, Airbags · CT · crash

I was coming out of my garaged ( car was facing forward) . The car seemed to hesitate as I tapped the gas pedal. I thought maybe this was because the car sensed the sides of the garage via the rear view mirror sensors. I am always careful when exiting my garage so as not to ding the rearview mirrors. I repeatedly tapped the gas lightly about three times but the car hesitated each time and did not want to seem to move forward. One last time I tapped the gas and the car bolted out of the garage jumped the curb across the street at an unexpected rapid speed. I did not have my foot on the gas pedal. The car lunged forward , crossed the street and hit the garage door and frame of the house across the street for me doing structural damage. I believe this to be unintended acceleration for which other Subaru models have experienced problems. The air bags did not deploy. Please see similar accident for another example of this same scenario with the same make model and year as my vehicle: https: //www.google.com/amp/s/www.torque net.com/1084/subar-acceleration-lawsuit-update-forester-slams-garage/amp

While pulling into a parking spot my forester lunged forward even though I did not have my foot on the gas pedal. Also, when pulling away from a traffic light, the vehicle sometimes feels as though it wants to accelerate even though I am not pressing the gas pedal too hard.
