Car accelerates quickly and lurches forward when slightly touching the gas pedal. This happens at all times from start of car and during general driving conditions.

With the car completely warmed up, either a hot day or a cold day, doesn't matter, the car will not accelerate for a couple seconds when entering traffic after having parked for a few minutes. In other words, after making a stop somewhere and shutting the engine off, and then starting it up again and traveling a block or so, suddenly the car will not accelerate. You may be entering traffic flow and need to speed up, and it won't go. The dealer stonewalls by saying the issue cannot be duplicated and therefore it is not their problem.

I've had this car for 1.5 years and it's already stalled twice times. Both times I was driving on the highway and without any warning my car just started to rapidly decrease speed. Both times, I my gas meter said that I had over 50 miles of gas left in my car. Its absolutely terrifying because when the car shuts off, I have about two minute to get to the shoulder before it's completely dead.

Non-turbo model stalls in traffic without warning. First air conditioner shuts off, along with electrical, then engine stalls. Nothing unusual prior to shutting off. Vehicle becomes nearly impossible to control with limited braking and steering. Car will not immediately re-start. This has occurred six times since new; dealer has not fixed problem, but has seen video of the car stalling in traffic that my wife took while I was driving. Vehicle was in gear, moving at low to moderate speed each time, with ac operating and no other accessories or unusual situations.

Three times over the past 2 weeks, my vehicle has stalled at highway speeds. All three times the incident occurred when I was traveling with 1/4 or less of gas (but these incidents did not occur due to having run out of gas). All three times I was attempting to accelerate or drive uphill. The vehicle stalled all times at around 65-75 mph of speed, causing me great concern when I had to quickly pull over on heavily traveled highways such as ct route 84 and vt route 91. I brought my vehicle to bertera Subaru in hartford, ct, where I had purchased it, and was told they were unable to fix my issue until it happened more consistently. I mentioned recall wta-62 and was told it does not apply to my vehicle. Recall wqz-61 was performed on my vehicle.

My sister and I bought this car on Mar. 25, 2016. On April 6, 2016 the car stalled on her twice. She was coming out of a store parking lot, and crossed the intersection turning left and the car stalled in the middle of the road in the intersection on the broken yellow lines. She had to put her car on 'park' and restart. The second incident happened the same way, coming out of a parking lot but didn't reach the center of the street, and stalled on the fast lane of oncoming traffic. She did the same, put the car in 'park' and restarted. I then took her car to the dealer on Thursday night 4/7/16 and left the car there with 382 miles on it. The service advisor did tell me that they did have another incident similar....some people were test driving a forrester and and it had to be towed back to the dealer, and they found that a fuel line was crinkled. She said, I hope this wasn't the car. They did check the car with a laptop, but drove it for only 1 or 1-1/2 miles and found nothing wrong. I brought the car home and have 385 miles on it now. My concern is, that I don't want my sister to be in an unsafe situation, she just recent lost her husband of 57 years, and I convinced her to trade in her minivan for a smaller safer vehicle.
