Description of the problem	There are two problems with the 2006 subaru forester that i have. It has less than 5000 miles on it and continually fails to start, whether from a cold start or a warm start. The engine will attempt to crank but will not catch and actually turn over. This issue has happened multiple times. I took the car into the dealership and they stated that i had to hold the ignition switch in the acc position to "prime the lines." i've never head of having to prime a car in this day and age. However, i since have tried doing that and the issue still persists. Also, the care will surge in power at various speeds. When i let up on the gas when trying to slow down ,the car will actually rev up. This happened in the snow the other day and i almost completely lost control of the car. If that car is going to surge like this it completely negates the purpose of having all wheel drive. This is a grave safety concern. I thought subaru's were supposed to be good cars. I guess i thought wrong. I've taken the car in for the surge issue and the dealership said there was nothing they could do and that there were no recalls for the problem. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
