Consumer Description

MY 2006 SUBARU OUTBACK LL BEAN HAS BEEN CUTTING OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING. ONE INCIDENT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED. THE GAS PEDAL WENT LIMP AND I HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT WAS EITHER RAINING OR SNOWING OUTSIDE. TOOK THE OUTBACK INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WEREN'T SURE WHAT THE CAUSE WAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY, BUT THEY WERE NOT CERTAIN. THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED ONCE WHEN I TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL.
