Problems with 2018 Subaru Forester STRUCTURE

I was in stop and go traffic. i don't remember if i was taking foot off brake, or gas pedal. this happen within seconds. car started to accelerate, i slammed on brakes still moving, i pulled emergency brake, still moving, i hit back end of pick-up truck. by then i had put car in park and turned off ignition.

I came to a complete stop to wait for oncoming traffic before making a left turn. i only had about twenty feet to go to access the angled parking space for the business on the corner. as i turned into the space, my forester suddenly jumped the curb, mowed down a sign pole, and crashed into the building window. after replaying this incident over in my mind, i truly believe this was a case of unintended acceleration. fortunately, no one was injured. i was on a city street and was totally shocked that the vehicle accelerated like it did.

Vehicle was being backed out of the garage to replace the trash can. after backing part way out of the garage when i put the car in gear it shot forward and i was unable to stop the vehicle until it hit the back garage wall. when the vehicle was then put into reverse it shot backwards, also. i was unable to stop the vehicle until it was totally out of the garage. the vehicle seemed to accelerate on its own. damage was done to the front end of the vehicle, the garage wall and the inside utility room and hallway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 subaru forester. while driving over 40 mph, the vehicle shook violently and vibrated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (suburban subaru, 1821 maplelawn dr, troy, mi) where it was diagnosed that the failure was caused by a build up of dirt and debris in the wheels and wheel wells. the contact was advised to power wash the wheels and wheel wells to prevent the failure from recurring. in addition, the engine idled while the vehicle was on a slight incline. suddenly, the engine began to rev high and the vehicle erroneously drove forward. the failure occurred as the driver was getting back into the vehicle and the accelerator pedal had not been depressed. on several occasions, while on a slight incline with the engine idling, the vehicle would suddenly roll backwards once the brake pedal was released. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who found no failures with the vehicle. the manufacturer was informed of the failures and did not assist. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 2,500. *tt consumer stated violent vibration and shaking at 45mph or greater especially in winter months with snow and mud build up. automatic brakes slam frequently when in reverse. while at a stop sign, when car is in drive on an incline engine starts revving. vehicle went backwards while foot was on the brake. updated 11/19/18*jb
