2018 SUBARU LEGACY Fuelpropulsion System Problems

My wife experienced an unintended acceleration in her 2018 Subaru Legacy. My wife had begun to slowly back out of a parking space in a school parking lot when her 2018 Legacy went into an unintended rapid acceleration in reverse. The car took off in reverse and did not respond to her applying the brakes. Somehow she managed to steer the car which was rapidly acceleration in reverse, virtually uncontrollable, and guide the car down a row of parked cars until she clipped the front of another car at the end of the row and her car came to a stop. Thank God there were no students in the parking lot at the time! The floor mats in our Legacy are Subaru mats that lie flat and in no way would affect the accelerator pedal. As the car was accelerating in reverse, and she had removed her foot from the...

I have a 2018 Subaru Legacy 2.5. The front catalytic converter failed April 2022 with 130k miles. the part was replace by Subaru and the part has failed again. Oct 2023 with 180k miles. Exhaust fumes enter the passenger compartment (which are Carbon Monoxide). The same part has failed two times in a short period of time. Subaru states this is not a warranty issue .This must become a recall.

A friend was trying to move the car from the street when it suddenly lurched and accelerated and hit a tree, and boulder, and another car. They had not stepped on the accelerator yet. She lost control of the car. It was totaled as per State Farm.

ACCELERATION HESITATES OR STUTTERS WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING, LIKE FROM A STOP IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. 2018 LEGACY 3.6R HAS DONE THIS SINCE PURCHASED IN APRIL 2019.

ON JUNE 6, 2019, WE TOOK OUR CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TO PERFORM TWO OUTSTANDING RECALLS THAT INVOLVED "SOFTWARE REPROGRAMMING" -- ONE FOR THE FUEL GAUGE (WHICH APPARENTLY MAY NOT PROPERLY REFLECT LOW GAS LEVELS) AND ONE FOR THE HEAD UNIT (WHICH MAY FAIL TO INITIALIZE AND ACTIVATE THE BACKUP CAMERA). WE HAD _ZERO_ PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAD UNIT (OR FUEL GAUGE TO OUR KNOWLEDGE) PRIOR TO THE RECALL WORK. NOW THE HEAD UNIT FAILS TO INITIALIZE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EVERY FEW TIMES WE START OUR CAR -- THE _EXACT_ ISSUE THAT THE RECALL WAS INITIATED TO ADDRESS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE REPROGRAMMING MAY NOT HAVE REMEDIED THAT SENSING ERROR EITHER. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHICH HAS INSTRUCTED US TO RETURN TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM TRY TO FIX IT AGAIN. WE SCHEDULED THEIR NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT ON JULY 3RD, BUT NOW...

FUEL LEVEL NOT PROPERLY INDICATED SUBARU"S LETTER INDICATED THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN OR IF THERE WOULD BE A FIX TO THE PROBLEM

ON THE DASHBOARD SHOWED THAT THE REMAIN MILEAGE WAS 70, BUT IT STOPPED ALL THE SUDDEN DUE TO NO GAS. I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED ON A PUBLIC STREET WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. AFTER MANY TIMES TRYING TO START THE CAR, IT DID NOT WORK; IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR STRANDED TO GO AND GET GAS TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION.
