| Description of the problem | In a matter of 3 weeks, the ascent came to a complete stop in the middle of the road with no objects in view of the car on 2 different occasions. The anti-collision braking system initiated from approximately 35 mph to a complete stop, thinking the fog was an object. This is extremely unsafe as the vehicle can stop at anytime, in the fog. If there was traffic on the road, we would have been rear ended. Dealership could not replicate problem, will be contacting subaru directly next. Mileage is approximately 8,500. |
