Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH IN THE FAST LANE DOWN THE HIGHWAY I TURNED CRUISE CONTROL ON. AS SOON AS THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED ALL THROTTLE WAS LOST. WHILE IN MOTION I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS DECELERATING SO I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN BACK ON. THE ACCELERATION CAPABILITY RETURNED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC TO READ THE CODE WHICH CAME BACK AS THE THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY SUBARU AMERICA. *TR
