VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: I OWN A 1993 SUBARU IMPREZA L, AND I OWN A 1998 IMPREZA OUTBACK SPORT. BOTH THESE CARS HAVE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE TWO TSB'S ON HESITATION ISSUES FOR ALL SUBARU'S CONCERNING THIS. THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN NEED FOR ACCELERAION IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES ARE: 1. AMBULANCE COMING TO INTERSECTION BEHIND ME WITH NO ROOM FOR ME TO PULL OVER DUE TO PARKED CARS, AND I ATTEMPTED TO MOVEOUT OF HIS WAY PUSHING DOWN ON THE THROTTLE, AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SPUTTERING AND BARELY MOVING. THE AMBULANCE IS STUCK BEHIND ME WHILE I AM ATTEMPTING TOMOVE OUT OF IT'S WAY. 2. THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AT AN INTERSECTION, BUT SOMEONE FAILS TO STOP TO THEIR RED LIGHT, AND NEARLY GET T-BONED, THANKS TO CADILLAC'S STRONG BRAKING POWER, BECAUSE MY CAR SPUTTERS, AND MOVES LIKE A TURTLE WHEN I NEED TO SAFELY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FOR SAFETY. I HAVE A FAMILY, AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSES WITH A PROFESSIONAL MANNER. WITH THE ENGINEERING GOING INTO CARS THESE DAYS, AND ALL OFF THESE HIGH-PAID ENGINEERS, AND ALL PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS, THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE PROBLEM TO BE PUT ASIDE. IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE, PLEASE DO SO. AND IN THE FUTURE IF IT IS DONE, MY PERSONAL REGARDS AND THANKS TO ALL THE INITIATIVE, AND COURAGE FOR THOSE THAT STOOD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. MAX . *AK
