Description of the problem	When on an incline, and or entering a highway while accelerating the car will go into the hill decent mode. Every light on the dash will light up! I am forced to pull over because the engine is now screaming!!! I then need to turn the car off and on two times in order to be able to drive it. Now half the lights are still on. But the car is running normally. It will take to more times turning off the engine before all the lights go off. The dealer claimed i was driving two footed. Left foot on brake and right on gas. Not true i do not drive like that. You can verify this behavior with starlink which i had the first year. Stamford subaru has had the car a week now and i have heard nothing! The second issue is the front end. When going over a bump or turning into a driveway there is a loud clunk. To me it sounds like ball joints. Stamford subaru has told me it is the all wheel drive system lifting one wheel off the ground, that's bull. I'm doing five miles an hour. Both issues have been going on for over a year. I do not feel safe in my subaru. Stamford subaru has given me an impresa as a loner and i am loving it. I have put six hundred miles on it and no problems. Please get in their butts to fix or replace my forester!!! Thank you in advance... Ps, the computer code said incorrect gear ratio for the transmission problem. In addition this has happened five times in a year and four months. Very scary!!!
