NHTSA Complaint #10894948 — 2015 SUBARU FORESTER

VEHICLE SURGES WHEN TRYING TO LIGHTLY ACCELERATE IN HOT WEATHER. RPMS BEGIN TO DROP, CAR BUCKS BACK AND FORTH UNTIL MORE THROTTLE IS GIVEN, THEN CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THERE SEEM TO BE TSBS OUT TO ALLEVIATE THE ISSUE, BUT THEY FEEL LIKE A BANDAID REPAIR AND JUST MASK IT. NOW INSTEAD OF BUCKING BACK AND FORTH, THE VEHICLE JUST ACCELERATES VERY LIGHTLY. THROTTLE IS VERY UNRESPONSIVE. THE INCONSISTENT THROTTLE RESPONSE CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE VEHICLE CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE WHEN ACCELERATING AWAY FROM A POTENTIAL HAZARD (ACCELERATING TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE, ACCELERATING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, ETC.).
