Base model subaru forester 2019, driver experienced unintended acceleration when starting to drive following a green light in an interception. Driver had to use an evasive maneuver (veer to the left) to avoid hitting a vehicle in the front of it. The vehicle continued to accelerate without driver engaging the gas paddle.

The car occasionally acts like it going to stall , primarily when turning left at traffic signals. The accelerator has to be pushed hard to overcome the approximately 1- 1.5 second delay before the car starts to accelerate. This has caused near collisions on several occasions.

The vehicle accelerates/lurches forward every time when coasting or slowly braking from around 30mph to a stop. There is a normal predictable reduction in speed until the car reaches 15 to 16 MPH, at which point it accelerates/lurches forward. It feels as if the transmission was suddenly shifting and creating more power.

AT THIS TIME I WAS APPLYING MY BRAKES AROUND THE CORNERS AND , CONSTANT ON/OFF FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. DURING ONE OF THESE BRAKING MOMENTS ON A CORNER MY CAR ACCELERATED INSTEAD, AS I'M APPLYING THE BRAKE, FOR 1-2 SECONDS. IT'S LIKE A LURCH FORWARD INSTEAD OF A BRAKE. THEN IT CORRECTED ITSELF AND DID NOT DO THIS AGAIN. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PHENOMENON WHEN DRIVING IN THE SNOW IN 2019. IT OCCURRED 3-4 TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE SNOW APPLYING THE BRAKE FREQUENTLY. THE CAR WOULD UNEXPECTEDLY LURCH FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. EACH TIME I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS I WAS DRIVING WITH ECO MODE ON, PRESSING THE BRAKE FREQUENTLY FOR A DURATION OF TIME. IT'S AS IF THE CAR GETS CONFUSED OR IS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. THIS IS MY FIRST AWD VEHICLE.
