A very similar event of unintended acceleration, as described for the case of a 2019 Outback slamming into a garage door, happened to us and our 2017 Impreza. This was the third instance of unintended acceleration with this car--two different drivers, three different situations. We reported this to Subaru and the NHTSA. Subaru's investigation found nothing wrong with the car. Two points are worth adding to the comments made by others. First, the data recording system of these cars is only activated after a malfunction (e.g., upon airbag deployment), not before, as might be necessary to determine cause rather than effect. Second, the automatic forward braking system only recognizes certain objects, like a car, and not others. like a garage door. It has a pattern recognition element in its design. The limitations of the system are described in extensive, legalistic detail in the owner's manual for the car. By the way, Subaru was unwilling to cover the considerable expenses involved in repairing our car and garage. I will be interested in the outcomes of the class-action lawsuits now in progress.
