Consumer Description

IN THE 2006 SUBARU OUTBACK 3.0 THE THROTTLE IS CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY. THIS FAILED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY. THE GAS PEDDLE STOPPED RESPONDING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OVER. AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE THROTTLE STARTED TO RESPOND AGAIN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT IS BLINKING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS A FIX. AFTER REVIEWING MANY FORUMS, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE SUBARU KNOWS WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. BUT THERE ARE SOME "RECOMMENDATIONS". *TR
