Unexpected acceleration after parking, jump curb into tree, causing $7,000 in damage. air bags did not deploy, both myself and passenger hit knees on dash, even with our seat belts still on. had other computer issues earlier that day, back up sensors didn't work while backing car right behind mine. car has now been at subaru for a month, waiting for engineers results after their inspection 2/14/2018
Tl* the contact owned a 2015 subaru outback. while driving approximately 28 mph, the contact fell sleep and struck a guardrail head on. the front air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed and there were no injuries. the insurance company towed the vehicle to their lot and declared it destroyed. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 1-286-495891121. the approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
This concerns a 2015 subaru outback limited 6 cylinder. at approx 21,000 mi i was slowing to speed to park in a public parking space on a city street and the outback sudden acceleration. the outback hit a city metal post/sign, jumped the curb and collided with a building and damaging a store front with great force. the airbags did not deploy and the automatic collision prevention failed to work. once before the car had an acceleration surge while driving a public city street at low speed but did not hit anything. prior to the accident i've also experienced slight hesitation in acceleration when i first accelerate from a stationary position and probably unrelated, the gear shift often gets stuck in park and i have to use force the gear shift to reverse. having trouble with turning neck from side to side and need to see doctor for evaluation so, not sure if this is considered injury?
Takata recall
Takata recall when airbags deploy, they may spray metal debris toward vehicle occupants and may cause serious injury.

We took delivery of this vehicle on 1/2/2015. it is a 2.5 limited model with eyesight, navigation and keyless ignition. on the day of delivery, the entire electrical system failed and the ignition did not work. the car was returned to the dealer who checked the battery and found nothing wrong. a few weeks later, the same problem occurred. after five minutes, the problem resolved itself. the car was again taken to the dealer who indicated that the problem had been fixed (loose wire/fuse). today (2/16/2015), the electrical system partially failed. while the ignition worked and some warning lights illuminated (including the air bag warning light). the entire center panel of controls (radio, navigation, climate control, etc.) was disabled. we are concerned because the eyesight system controls braking, acceleration, etc. the air bag warning light illumination is also a concern. we have seen that other subaru owners are reporting similar chronic issues with their new similarly configured vehicles. *tr
