NHTSA Complaint #11360939 — 2015 SUBARU FORESTER

I HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE MY CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DOING 50-60 MILES AN HOUR. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE AND REVS GO UP WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR, HOWEVER THE CAR DOES NOT SPEED UP. BOTH THE TIMES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, NARROWLY AVOIDING ACCIDENTS. THE ENGINE DIED BOTH TIMES AND AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO MY DESTINATION. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE CAR. ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY IDLED THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR TO WARM IT UP AND DROVE IT FOR AN HOUR. THEY REPEATED THIS ONE MORE TIME. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND CANNOT FIX IT. APPARENTLY THEY PERFORMED A THROTTLE BODY SERVICE ON THE CAR AND CHARGED ME FOR IT. LOOKING AT THE MILEAGES ON THE INVOICE, THE CAR WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT 91223 MILES AND WENT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AT 91255 MILES. HOWEVER WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE MILEAGE ON IT WAS 91241 MILES. SO BASICALLY THEY DROVE THE CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 18 MILES IN 2 HOURS? I HAVE TWO ISSUES HERE. 1. I HAVE A CAR THAT HAS A POTENTIAL TO PUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. 2. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY TRIED TO DIAGNOSE IT BUT EVIDENTLY HAVE NOT EVEN TRIED, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MILEAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AND FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR.
