2014 Subaru Outback Fuel system Problems

“At times when you press the accelerator from a stop it takes 5 or 6 seconds to respond.I was pulling on to the highway turning left.this could be a very dangerous or even fatal incident if there was oncoming traffic.reading from the intrnet I see that this has been a problem as far back as 2013.someone needs to fix this problem before someone dies.”

“3 to 15 second hesitation in throttle response. Last incident nearly resulted in a collision. I stopped waiting for traffic to clear before making an left turn. Made the left turn, gently applied the throttle pedal, no response, pushed it to maximum travel, still no response, car coming toward me in oncoming lane, then my car suddenly accelerated so that a collision was avoided. City 2 lane street, turning left.”

“Acceleration from a stop or slow speed takes 5-6 seconds for a proper response. Turning left is a very real problem or pulling into on coming traffic. I have yet to have an accident because I am extremely careful, but have come frightingly close a few times. Can this problem be fixed? This happens when the vehicle is stationary, turning,braking (slowing down and then trying to go back to normal speed. This happens on interstates, around town, etc.”

“Delayed gas pedal response=hesitation to accelerate when gas pedal engaged from a stationary stop. I have experienced this failure to accelerate the vehicle from a stopped position in excess of 25 times over a more than 5 year period. The Subaru is not mine but a relatives car. In early february 2019, I was stopped at a light attempting to make a left hand turn. Traffic coming at me was up a hill with a grade of 6% or more which limited the line of sight for someone wanting to make a left hand turn at that intersection. …”

“When driving a 2014 Subaru Outback I experience a 2-4 second hesitation upon accelerating. It first happen when turning left, crossing traffic. I stepped on the gas pedal and nothing happened for a few seconds and then suddenly accelerated into oncoming traffic. Fortunately there was no accident just horns beeping from the car I cut off. It happened again when accelerating from a stop onto a highway. That time I applied the brakes as it lunged forward before entering traffic. It happened a few more times at a stop light in the 1 week I drove it. …”
