| Description of the problem | While driving the car on a parking lot i slowed down to park and i had the foot on the gas pedal. The car accelerated on its own and went over the sidewalk. I could have injured someone walking or hit the glass window in front of me. The subaru dealer inspected the car and did not found any issue and could not reproduce the problem. I have read that this has happened to other owners and it represents a safety risk to the driver and everyone else. |
