Subaru owners say their vehicles are surging forward when trying to shift into PARK, even with a foot firmly on the brake pedal. The automaker continues to blame drivers for the incidents, propmting a second class-action lawsuit to be filed in a matter of months.

Subaru doesn't appear concerned about the growing number of reports and hasn't issued a technical service bulletin about the problem.
