2017 SUBARU IMPREZA Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Since new, maybe once a month, Cruise control idiot light comes on and flashes until car is turned off. usually no bother but one day it started braking without me and I bought the DUMB base model!!! before extended warranty expires, this august, hopefully dealer will replace wheel speed sensors on rear wheels. not sure if this will fix problem. I have asked them to check this six or seven times now. they tell me warranty may not cover it unless code is stored? hopefully they will stand behind product and fix it anyway. 2017 Impreza with 33000 miles and have done ALL recalls and maintenance!

I HAD PURCHASED A SUBARU IMPREZA 2017 IN JUNE OF 2017. SINCE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT WITH THE CAR I'VE EXPERIENCED ALL THE INFO ENTERTAINMENT ISSUES. I HAVE A WEIRD ENGINE TICKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS NEVER GONE OUT OF CONTROL. HOWEVER THE 'FORWARD' MOMENTUM/ INERTIA THAT'S CREATED BY THE ENGINE DOESN'T DISPERSE CORRECTLY THRU THE EXHAUST AS IT SHOULD. THE VEHICLE IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL AND IF I DON'T SHIFT DOWN TO NEUTRAL WHEN STOPING THEN I WON'T STOP WHERE I'M JUDGING TO. THE CAR WILL FEEL AS IF IT'S SLIDING OVER THE BRAKES. YOU ALSO MAY HAVE TO POWER BRAKE WITH THE CLUTCH AS I DO REGULARLY. SINCE HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES. WHEN EVER I'D GO TO A DEALER THEY WOULD SAY SOME JARGON ABOUT HOW IF THEY HAVE TO TURN A SCREW THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE PART BEING FIXED...

THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED THROUGH DEALERS HELP AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED YET FOR THESE PROBLEMS. FIRST: THE ENGINE STALLS AROUND 16 TO 11 MPH. THE ACCELERATION SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY AFTER 16-15MPH THEN IT RAMPS UP AT 13MPH AND THEN SLOWS DOWN AROUND 11 MPH SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PERSISTENT SINCE THE OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. SECOND: THE BATTERY ON THIS VEHICLE WAS DEAD SUDDENLY OVER NIGHT WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE CLUES. NO MAP OR DOME LIGHTS WERE KEPT ON. THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED OFF PROPERLY AND NEXT MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. SOMEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE (THE SUSPECT IS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM) THE BATTERY IS DRAINING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES. THESE ISSUES ARE HUGE SAFETY...
