Description of the problem	I started the vehicle, put it in reverse and nothing!! It didnt move. Stepped on the gas, nothing! Tried this 4 times. After about one hour it started and went in gear. Took it to the dealer, they tested it , said nothing wrong. Second time, which was later that night, i had the car out. Started up, put it in reverse, nothing happened. Car was on a slight incline, car then rolled forward and almost hit a car in front of us. Tried 3 times before the car would back up third time, which occured on december 31st, 2013. I was driving to work. Stopped at red light. Light turned, i stepped on the gas and the car didnt move, it then jumped into the intersection of a major highway! Lucky i wasnt hit from behind or head on! I could not get the car to go. Called the dealership. After about 5 minutes i was able to get the car going. The car is at the dealership now and i have a loaner car. They called and said again that they could not find anything wrong!!! I could have been killed!!! I do not want this car back until it is fixed or i get a new one to replace it. I am not very happy with the new 2014 forester!
