| Description of the problem | Since i bought the car new, when at intersections, car hesitates and stumbles on acceleration when requiring instant acceleration to avoid collision with on coming traffic. I reported this at the first oil change, that this has happened several times, and does it intermittently, and also reported it to subaru dealers at my second and third oil changes, and left car for 3 days but dealer cant duplicate. It scares the hell out of me not knowing if car will respond or not and getting hit for cutting in fron of on coming traffic. Subaru of america believes this is not a problem but this is a safety defect and refuse to buy back car. I drive defensively until i can get rid of vehicle due to this safety problem, car itself does fine but the accelerator problem is too dangerous to keep vehicle for me or anyone that would buy it if traded in without being informed of past history. I like subaru but failure to buy back car is putting other drivers at risk, and why would a dealer want to take my car in trade with this history since august of 2014. Subaru needs to buy back this car or risk liability or negligence on subaru of america and its dealers. Just buy back the car and get it off the road. This is the second report because i did not put the full vin number previously which was fh403648 |
