2015 Subaru Forester

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SUBARU FORESTER (TOURING EDITION) AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 70 MPH, THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED DECELERATING. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR RE-STARTED AFTER AWHILE. THE FIRST TIME THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON BUT I HAD OVER 50 MILES LEFT ACCORDING TO FUEL SENSOR. THE SECOND TIME, A MONTH OR SO LATER, NO LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WERE 2 BARS LEFT ON THE FUEL GAUGE. AGAIN CAR TOTALLY DECELERATED AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. SUBARU DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BUT SOMEONE DID CALL THEM ABOUT IT THE DAY BEFORE I CALLED. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT WHERE THEY SAY THEY WILL DO A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. I AM SEEING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT CAR ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SUBARU SHOULD NOT BE WAITING FOR FATALITIES TO HAPPEN BEFORE RECALLING THESE CARS.

WHEN USING LIGHT ACCELERATION SUCH AS IN A PARKING LOT OR AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN TO START GOING THE VEHICLE BUCKS FORWARD IT WILL LITERALLY MAKE YOU JERK BACK IN THE SEAT. ALSO WHILE PULLING ONTO A STREET IT JERKS FORWARD BUT HAS HESITATION WHICH ISNT TO SAFE IF YOU ASK ME WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD IF CARS ARE COMING...

WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED ON DASH, TRACTION CONTROL, EYESIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL OFF, HILL ASSIST. THE EYESIGHT SYSTEMS ARE DISABLED SHUTTING OFF CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE REAR BRAKES LIGHT ARE NOT WORKING. WHEN THE CAR IS THE SHUT OFF THEN RESTARTED AND THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED THE CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AFTER STARTING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS RESET AFTER THE CAR SITS OFF OVERNIGHT. THE LAST TIME I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THE PARK I WENT BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MOVE THE BRAKE SWITCH AND PRESSED THE CONNECTION ON TOP IN. THIS RESET THE SYSTEM AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED. THE STOPLIGHT SWITCH/BRAKE SWITCH PART #83311FJ001 IS DEFECTIVE. ON 3/1/19 SUBARU ANNOUNCED A RECALL NOT SURE IF IT'S THIS PART/ISSUES BUT I AM HOPING IT IS.
