2022 Subaru Forester Cruise Control Problems

Your car's safety systems—including lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision avoidance—shut off completely when certain non-critical problems occur, such as a blown fog light fuse or a faulty oxygen sensor. These issues typically cause only minor performance impacts like reduced fuel economy or slower engine warm-up, but trigger a full safety system shutdown that requires a service visit costing hundreds of dollars. If this happens while you're relying on lane assist or adaptive cruise, you could lose critical safety features unexpectedly at highway speeds. The fix will require replacing the faulty component and possibly having Subaru reprogram the safety system logic.

While turning into your garage at low speed, your car suddenly accelerated on its own without any warning. You managed to steer into the garage and brake hard, stopping just before hitting the interior wall. This unexpected acceleration happened without any prior warning lights or symptoms.

When you pulled into a parking space and slowed down, your car suddenly surged forward instead of stopping smoothly. Even though you pressed the brake pedal, the car continued accelerating for a few seconds before the brakes finally engaged. You nearly hit a fence and had to drive around on the grass until you regained control. This issue may involve the throttle control system, brake system response, or electronic speed control components that need inspection and repair.

Your forward collision avoidance system has activated unexpectedly on the freeway at 65 mph even though there was no vehicle in front of you, nearly causing a rear-end collision. Additionally, your EyeSight camera system has turned off within the last two weeks. Both issues appear to be recurring problems affecting other vehicles.
