Description of the problem	. Of us as traffic was causing it to speed up and slow down. With no warning, our car suddenly lurched ahead as if i had stepped hard on the gas pedal, throwing us back in our seats. After a few seconds, it hit brakes and threw us forward. It did not completely stop but resumed previous speed. This continued to happen every couple of minutes. I took the first exit that appeared, about two miles ahead. I was very frightened that we might collide with the van in front or swerve into the traffic in the lane next to us, or that it might suddenly stall in our lane. I did not try to stop the car although i had my foot resting on the brake pedal. It badly frightened my wife and i. The car has a cvt transmission. We stopped in a parking lot and then had car towed to closest of two subaru dealers in the area. I had both of them run extensive checks on engine, power train, computer, etc. Neither could identify any issues that would cause the problem. My wife has sworn she will never drive or ride in the car again. I can't blame her. We have to go over a winding, hilly road of about ten miles to go home. There is heavy car and truck traffic off and on throughout the day. To get home, we rented a car as i now fear driving this road in this car at anytime day or night. The dealer where we bought the car has offered to store the car for us until we decide what to do. I've tried calling subaru and will try again. Long wait periods so far. This is our second subaru. First was a 2012 outback which we traded for the current one which we have leased. The irony of this is that we bought the current one for its many safety features! I've owned many cars in my life but have never experienced anything like this!
