Internal NHTSA #	11208735
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	FORESTER
Model Year	2018
File date	19/05/19
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	[xxx] 05/19/2019 [xxx]- clear day @ 10am est. While in my lane and traveling straight and within the lane lines, two (2) vehicle safety systems activate at the same time: lane keep assist, lane departure warning. The lane keep assist was the strongest "pull" i've ever felt and pulled/steered the vehicle to right causing me nearly cross into the lane on my right. My hands were always on the steering wheel and was able to immediately correct it. The departure warning also activated at the initial 'lane keep assist' feature activation. Attached is a picture of the road from the inside of the vehicle. The windshield has dried insect residue but nothing i considered visually impairing. If my hands were not on the steering wheel or otherwise was distracted, i have no doubt i would have steered completely into the lane next to me. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *tt
