I currently own a Subaru Forester 2005 with about 170KM on it. I haven't done any major repairs in the last few years but i'm stating to wonder what i'm going through won't cost me an arm and a leg.

My issue is that while accelerating, vehicle accelerates quickly and then stops. While break is applied, vehicle still moves forward at times. This happens once in awhile but not all teh time. I don't have any engine light showing on my dashboard. I don't hear any noises either.
