NHTSA Complaint #10655186 — 2014 SUBARU LEGACY

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2014 SUBARU LEGACY ON MAY 16TH 2014. ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING UP THE SLIGHT INCLINE OF THE DRIVEWAY OF THE APARTMENT HOUSE WHERE I LIVE. AS I REACHED THE STREET I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO TURN OUT INTO THE TRAFFIC AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THE POWER RETURNED AND THE CAR RESPONDED NORMALLY WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMALLY. THREE OR FOUR DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR'S ENGINE LOST POWER WHEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS SAME LOSS OF POWER NOW HAPPENS ABOUT TWO OR THREE TIMES EACH WEEK. I CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 2500 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND THEY HAVE KEPT THE CAR FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT THIRTY DAY FOR OBSERVATION, TESTING, AND REPAIR BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THEY WARNED ME ABOUT DRIVING WITH TWO FEET BECAUSE IF THE BRAKE IS APPLIED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ACCELERATOR A PROBLEM LIKE THIS COULD OCCUR BUT I DO NOT DRIVE USING BOTH FEET AND HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN USING ONLY ONE FOOT. *TR
