  STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  AS I DROVE MY VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH A CONCRETE BUMPER AT THE HEAD, JUST AS IT WAS READY TO STOP, IT SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD OVER THE CONCRETE BUMPER AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP WHEN THE BACK WHEELS MADE CONTACT WITH THE CONCRETE BUMPER AND THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF ANOTHER SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. *TR

  2013 SUBARU LEGACY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE STALLED QUITE FREQUENTLY ON ACCELERATION, USUALLY AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH. IT WOULD OCCUR WHEN GOING UP SLIGHT HILLS, DOWN HILL AND LEVEL ROADS. THE ENGINE WOULD RE-START ITSELF AFTER LOOSING 5-10 MPH. APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR MADE NO DIFFERENCE.

  SEAT BELTS

  I HAVE A DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCK THAT CLICKS ALL THE TIME AND CREATES A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. THE NOISE IS EXCESSIVE AND CAN DISTRACT A DRIVER FROM THE ROAD, THINKING THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU, BECAUSE SUBARU THINKS THIS IS NORMAL. I, AS A LESSEE, WAS NEVER INFORMED REGARDING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SIGNING PAPERWORK. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND IS VERY DISTRACTING. *TR
