“Gas lid would not release after pulling the lever. This has happened mulitiple times prior without me realizing it was a problem because the second time I pulled the lever it would release - this last time it would not release even after multiple pulls - I had to push the gas door forward with the palm of my hand and then pry open”

“I parked my car on a road (neighborhood) with a slight incline. I went around in front of it to look at an item for sale (smalll pink piano) in the yard. I looked at the item, then heard my car take off. I tried to run to get into it to stop it, but it was going too fast. It ended up going to the right and running into the garage of the house I was near. It hit the left hand side of the garage and continued into the garage where it was stopped by some paint cans piled up and the back of the garage. …”

“Within a month of buying a brand new Subaru Legacy 2015, my windshield spontaneous cracked while driving on an open-air interstate away from other cars. At first I thought maybe a pebble hit the windshield, but upon later inspection I could not find a distinct starting point for the crack in the windshield crack (no dents or places where something might have hit my car). The crack initiated from the very bottom of the middle of the windshield and extended about 6-8 inches from the bottom of the windshield.”

“In february 2017 we experienced unintended acceleration on 6 occasions. We took it to the dealer and they said that there was nothing wrong with the car. They said that we must have done something to cause the acceleration. We know that was not the case, but we continued to drive the car. It happened another time in july. The really bad incident occurred on september 5, 2017 in a parking garage. As we were exiting the parking space, the car took off on its own. This time, we hit a concrete pillar along the side of the car and grazed one parked vehicle before getting the car to stop. …”

“After turning onto my inclined, somewhat long driveway, and applying a soft braking when entering my garage, the car suddenly sped up to a high speed and crashed into the wall which had two layers of plastic storage boxes in front of it. The boxes pushed the wall into my house which pushed my dining room hutch forward causing the top part to fall back and break just about all the crystal and heirloom items inside it. The top part of the hutch is unrepairable. My car was damaged, my home is damaged, and my hutch is ruined. I am now afraid to ever park in my garage again with this vehicle. …”
