Description of the problem	Problem of sudden acceleration while stopped in traffic with vehicle in gear. This happened twice. Both on city roads. Once at a traffic light. And again while waiting for traffic ahead of me. Feared i would collide with cars ahead of me, but extremely firm pressure on brake pedal avoided this. Also have cel on. Code indicates misfire on cylinder 4. That was determined at the service center of burdick's drivers village in cicero, where i purchased the car used almost 2 years ago. The service advisor at drivers village told me there was nothing further they could do. He recommended i take it to romano subaru, which i did. The service center at romano subaru replaced an ignition coil, but the problem remains. Romano wanted to drop the exhaust system and inspect the engine, but i declined. Spark plugs and wires were also replaced by my mechanic. I have also switched to top tier fuel, which hasn't had an effect. I like my forester, but the issues with the cel and sudden acceleration make me ponder a trade. The car is a 2010, with 96,300 miles.
