Description of the problem	We have a 2019 subaru forester, problems have been with the eyesight slamming on the brakes for no reason, and turning on and off at random times. The major issue has been the slammed on brakes when the road ahead was clear, jarring me and passengers, my wife literally had whiplash and a headache from the extreme, unexpected braking. This has happened when a vehicle in from of us made a right turn, road ahead is clear, traveling the speed limit of 35 mph, sensors must be picking up the corner of the other vehicle as we approach, locking up the brakes, thinking it is still in front of us. Another incident, eyesight sensing an empty paper bag being blown across the highway, slamming on the brakes, this could have caused a rear end collision from a driver behind us if they were following to close, like is the norm in rush hour traffic. Another event, a dog ran across the freeway, eyesight never activated, i thought i had braked and cleared the dog, he kept running, no impact, found damage to front end upon inspection. Another issue unrelated to eyesight, the defroster blower motor does not respond to high setting when first turned to high to clear window fog, it takes 3 to 5 minutes before it ramps up to high speed. I have brought this to the attention of our salesperson and service department our subaru dealership, maybe be a calibration issue, program issue with the eyesight sensors, they refused to document anything i shared and told me their is absolutely nothing wrong with the system without even looking at it. There is no more love in our subaru, and no concern for safety at the dealership. I have spoken with other 2019 subaru forester owners experiencing the same eyesight issues. This has been happening since we leased the vehicle october 2018 to recently on 2/20/2020. I was informed to file this by the ohio attorney general while filing a complaint with them.
