Description of the problem	Car suddenly accelerated, about 10-15 feet, from reverse to drive into a brick building,in a private parking lot causing 7k damage to my cars. Prior to this crash, the lane departure and auto breaking lights were flashing on and off. I was going to take the car to the dealer however, the crash prevented that. The car was repaired and taken to the subaru dealer where purchased, and they examined the car and said it was working properly. Since then, my screen date was set and then reverted back to feb 4, 2010. Also, the lane departure and auto braking lights have turned off while driving twice since getting the car back. Additionally, the screen now displays additional messages that it hadn't in the past, such as vehicle ahead has moved, and road conditions might be icy. The latter should have shown up prior to this accident, living in the snow belt of ne ohio. Has there been any "silent recalls" placed on this car since 2010 regarding the sudden acceleration issues that have not received a formal recall on, rather that subaru has issued this information to it's techs only? I am concerned that this gas pedal issue has been dismissed due to weather mats, drivers age or driver's foot missing the correct pedal. I am an experienced and safe driver who does not like getting scammed by a manufacture of inferior product. Subaru is love.... Questionable since it seems to me they are making changes without informing the government of these problems.
