Consumer Description
(POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT). VEHICLE SURGES AND BUCKS UNCONTROLLABLY IN ALL GEARS AT LOW SPEEDS, WHICH OCCASIONALLY FORCES THE FOOT TO DEPRESS ACCELERATOR ACCIDENTALLY DO TO VIOLENT BUCKING IN SLOW TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. OTHER SUBARUS IN THE 2.5 LITER CATEGORY DO THE SAME THING. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS AN INHERENT CONDITION IN THIS VEHICLE I MUST LIVE WITH DESPITE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ON THE 2006 MODEL SUBARU FORESTER EXPERIENCING THIS CONDITION, THAT SUBARU OF AMERICA CAME UP WITH AN ECU UPGRADE THAT CURED THE PROBLEM. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THEY WOULD KEEP ME ON RECORD SO THAT IF AND WHEN AN ECU UPGRADE BECOMES AVAILABLE THEY WILL CONTACT ME, BUT UNTIL THEN THIS IS A FLAW IN THIS MODEL I MUST LIVE WITH. SUBARU OF AMERICA ACKNOWLEDGE THE COMPLAINT AND PASSED IT ON TO THE DEALER. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA AFTER THE INITIAL CONTACT AND THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN CURRENTLY BE DONE. *JB
