2007 Subaru Forester Owner Comments

problem #1

Forester SUV 2.5L/7fb

I parked at my Banks' ATM to deposit a check into my account. The car was parked and I put the gear shift in the Neutral position and applied the emergency hand brake. When I finished with the deposit, I released the hand brake, and then moved the gear shift from Neutral to Drive and the vehicle did a sudden unexpected acceleration. I attempted to apply brake pressure with both feet and there was no response. My car caused a collision with parked cars opposite a chain link fence. Fortunately, the cars that I collided with were not occupied.

My seat belt prevented me from hitting the windshield or going through the windshield.
