Since I bought the car new, when at intersections or stop signs, car hesitates and stumbles on acceleration when requiring instant acceleration to avoid collision with on coming traffic. I reported this to subaru dealers and told there is no problem. Vehicle does this intermittently but scares the hell out of me not knowing if the car is going to accelerate or not and get hit by on coming traffic

While finalizing parking within a parking lot space at very low speed (last 2 feet) with foot on brake, the engine suddenly revved and the car accelerated without warning and struck the parked car on the opposite parking space. Both cars sustained moderate front-end damage.

I'm having an issue with my 2015 forester 2.5i CVT that has nearly caused accidents, but when I took it in for service today I was dismissed without being helped. My car has about 24,700 miles on it, so it's thoroughly broken in and I'm used to the way the CVT works. In the past month or so, I've noticed bucking, shuddering, and power loss during initial acceleration from a stop.

Sudden unintended acceleration: the vehicle vigorously accelerated immediately after shifting from park to drive without touching the accelerator pedal. The vehicle crashed through a fence ~8 feet away, pushed over 2 eight foot trees behind the fence then became high centered on a 30" "retaining ~5 feet beyond the fence. The vehicle accelerated in spite of full application of the brakes.

Twice while driving on the interstate on a 3-4 hour trip going approximately 70 MPH using cruise control with approximately 1/12 - 1/6 tank of gas, my engine began to rev and at the same time lost power and speed.

On 3 different occasions the car randomly accelerated at a high speed without stepping on the gas pedal. The first time was in a parking lot. The second time was on a busy road while traveling at 35 mph. The car accelerated to about 60 mph, fortunately once applying the brakes the vehicle slowed down to gain control. The third time it happened was recently on [XXX] while slowly backing down [XXX]. The car accelerated backwards at a very high speed narrowly missing a fence in the neighbors yard. These incidents have happened with large time frame gaps in between the occurrences. After the third incident I took the car to a dealer Planet Subaru in Hanover MA. After keeping the car for a few days, the dealer called and said that they could not find anything wrong with the car and there was nothing that they could do for me. This issue is obviously very serious, if the car surges forward randomly while someone is crossing in a crosswalk it could be potentially fatal.

I have had several instances while driving on the highway when my forester revs to a very high RPM, the vehicle speeds up suddenly, and then shuts off completely.
