Description of the problem	I was backing up my 2005 subaru forester in a downtown, street-level corner parking lot. When i put my vehicle into reverse, a sudden unintended acceleration propelled my vehicle backwards across the parking lot, across a two-lane downtown street, up onto the opposite sidewalk and culminated in my vehicle crashing into a city light pole, which stopped the vehicle. I estimate i was traveling at 25-30 mph when i hit the light pole. I missed two pedestrians by mere inches and fortunately missed hitting any other cars. I had my foot hard on the brake the entire 4-5 seconds of the incident, and almost broke the gear shift, madly trying to shift into park. My vehicle is totaled and i am totally freaked out by the entire nightmarish experience! This was a deadly sequence of events which easily could have changed my life and others' lives. I will never own another subaru. This occurred on thursday, april 26, 2018.
