Consumer Description

THREE TIMES I HAVE LOST ALL ACCELERATION WHILE IN MOTION, WITH THE CAR AND ENGINE SLOWING TO IDLE SPEED EVEN THOUGH THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. THIS OCCURRED TWICE ON TWO-LANE HIGHWAYS AND ONCE IN MY DRIVEWAY. IN ALL CASES, THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A SHORT TIME AND RESTARTED. MY MECHANIC IS LOOKING INTO A POSSIBLE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ISSUE. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FIND THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 OUTBACKS AND OTHER SUBARUS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT COULD PROVE DEADLY IF IT HAPPENS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND SUBARU SHOULD ADDRESS IT.
