Description of the problem	While pulling into a parking lot spot at idle speed, i lightly depressed the accelerator when all of a sudden the vehicle surged forward colliding with the veh parked to my left. My veh jumped the curb with the front end coming to rest on the sidewalk. I have had continuing problems with this sudden surging especially when pulling up a slight incline to enter my garage or starting from a stop. I have brought this to the attenton of subaru & took it to them for diagnosis only to be told that they cannot replicate the problem & found nothing abnormal in it's operation. Apparently i am not alone in my complaint as i have read in the december 2016 issue of motor trend magazine that they too mention the "jumpy throttle response". I have also read of similar rapid acceleration complaints in your customer complaints section which parallel mine. I have told subaru that this could result in a serious collision & that i fear that could happen. Even though this collision & resultig damage was minor, i am thankful there was no one walking on the sidewalk that could have been stuck. I am afraid to drive the veh now & don't know what my next step will be. W. A lovold manhattan beach, ca
