Description of the problem	On (3) separate occasions, my 2013 subaru impreza unintentionally accelerated while i was driving (in motion). Each time (shortly after), i took my car to the subaru dealership in glen mills, pa for inspection. Those dates are: 6/25/16, 1/16/20, 2/27/21. Each time the mechanic was unable to locate the problem. The first incident (2016), i was driving to work (within 3 minutes of home). The car was traveling at about 25 miles an hour. I panicked (hit the accelerator harder), but was able to brake and regain control of the car. The second incident (2020) , i had just left work, was traveling about 35 miles an hour, and the car accelerated as before. Again, i was able to regain control of the car by braking like normal. The third time (2021), i was about halfway home (from work) traveling about 35 miles an hour and the car accelerated. I was able to brake like normal and regain control of the car. Each incident was similar in the sense that it "felt like the car was possessed". It reminded me of a car wash when the car first moves on its own. It felt different from simply "traveling faster". I also mentioned to the mechanic that my car sometimes "lunges" at a red light. This occasionally occurs when i first start the car. A few times i needed to push hard on the brake so it didn't advance forward and hit the back of another car. As a result, i try to "warm up" my car a short while before driving. I don't know if the "lunging" relates to the other incidents. I am attaching the paperwork from the dealership. All (3) reports are included in the single pdf. Please contact me if you need more detail or have questions.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
