What owners wrote
I was parking my 2018 subaru outback premium next to my house on my parking spot, my foot was on a brake pedal, it left around 50'' to complete a parking, like suddenly my car start moving forward even that I was strongly pressing brake pedal, car went over curb and hit a palm tree that is next to my parking spot. Car suddenly accelerated and I was not able to control the car. Car front bumper, grill, radiator was damaged. Today, my car is in body shop. It was very scare experience.
The windshield cracked and crack spread across line of sight. My car was only two months old. I drove my previous car on same route for 10 years without broken windshield
