What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Car inadvertently accelerated when parking. Results $17,000 damages and stage two whiplash. Dealer inspected black box and claimed accelerator was inadvertently pushed full throttle, which is impossible as my wife isn't tall enough to push full throttle. Suburu will not share the results of the test so assume a coverup at this point as my wife swears she did not push the accelerator pedal. Many computer components are attached to the accelerator pedal, like automated parking and cruise control.
Subaru Solterra Car's automated breaking system did not work. We also suspect the changing from reverse to drive did not work as well. My wife while taking reverse and then tried to drive forward, but the drive forward did not work and when the car was accelerated it reversed and hit a tree. Rear automated breaking did not work causing damage to the car. Car was not drivable. Luckily no one was injured. There were no warning signs.
