Description of the problem	After buying it new and owning it for two years with no problems, in 2007 we had spontaneous acceleration problems with our 2005 subaru forester, resulting in 2 low-speed crashes into buildings and one that i managed to stop before hitting anything. No one was injured, but we had repair costs and insurance premium increases. The dealer said they found no problems, even though when i tested it with them, we reproduced a similar event. My detailed communications with subaru of america (including information from the internet about other earlier similar subaru problems) resulted in their denying any problem. I had a class-action attorney in juneau, ak write subaru of america with the same results of denial by subaru. All of this occurred in alaska (our main home). The dealer was very kind and in 2008 took it as a trade for a honda fit since we could not sell it with that history. I assume that other subaru owners have had similar problems, which should begin to surface now. Thank you, and i look forward to hearing from you.
