criticalVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
CrashFiled: Mar 2026

Your car unexpectedly accelerated while you were slowly pulling into a parking space at 5 mph with your feet off the pedals, causing it to hit a cement wall. The forward collision warning system and automatic braking did not activate, and the airbags did not deploy, resulting in your serious injury. You've also noticed that various safety sensors and warning systems intermittently disable on their own since you purchased the vehicle, and the dealership has refused to physically inspect the car despite your request.

NHTSA #: 11726788
criticalVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CrashFiled: Jan 2026

While parking at low speed in a Walmart lot, your car suddenly accelerated when you applied the brake, causing it to hit a concrete parking sign at high speed. You sustained bruising from the seatbelt impact, and the vehicle sustained approximately $6,820 in damage. You believe your foot was on the brake, not the accelerator, and have found online reports of similar incidents in other Foresters. The dealer will need to diagnose the brake system, fuel/propulsion system, and speed control to determine what caused the unexpected acceleration.
