AFTER REMOVING CAR FROM GARAGE, WHILE SLOWLY DRIVING UPHILL IN ALLEY (LESS THAN 15 MPH ), CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS IN THE AIR ON THE WAY TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A TURN. THE CAR MOVED & SOUNDED AS IF ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN DEPRESSED, BUT IT WASN'T BY THE DRIVER! I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE, BUT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED CAR TO OVERSHOOT WHERE I WANTED IT TO GO BY SEVERAL FEET. IT DIDN'T COLLIDE WITH ANYTHING. I HEARD A "THUNK" BELOW CAR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE THE ACCELERATION. I BROUGHT CAR …

EVERY FEW MONTHS THE ENGINE DROPS TO AN IDLE STATE FOR AT LEASE ONE SECOND JUST AFTER ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED. SO WHEN EXPECTING POWER FOR URGENT ACCELERATION, THERE IS INITIAL MOMENTARY POWER, PROPELLING THE CAR ONTO A BUSY ROAD, FOR EXAMPLE, THEN ENGINE RPM DROPS TO IDLE AND CAR STOPS ACCELERATING FOR A SECOND OR MORE BEFORE POWER STARTS TO RETURN. THIS USUALLY WILL OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS AND THEN CLEARS UP BY ITSELF FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE HAZARD REOCCURS. RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES…

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE POWER STAYS ON. I WAS TOLD TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY AND TRY AGAIN, THIS DOES NOTHING, THE CAR IS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. TURNING OFF AND RE-STARTING DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENED ONLY A FEW TIMES LAST MONTH, NOW ITS ALMOST EVERYDAY.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH TRYING TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. IT WON'T LET ME TURN ALL THE WAY FROM ACC TO REMOVE THE KEY. I'VE TRIED TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, RESTART IGNITION AND TRY TURNING ALL THE WAY OFF AGAIN AND STILL STUCK. I HAD TO START AND PUT CAR IN REVERSE, THEN PULL FOWARD AND WAS ABLE TO TURN KEY COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE KEY. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AS WELL.

While driving at normal operating speed, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of engine power with no prior warning. There were no dashboard alerts, warning lights, or check engine indicators before the failure occurred. The vehicle became immediately unsafe to operate and had to be pulled over in a main highway center lane divide. After inspection by a licensed mechanic, it was determined that the engine suffered catastrophic internal failure due to oil and engine coolant mixing. This resulted in complete engine failure and rend…
