Consumer Description

CAR WAS TRAVELING AT 75MPH FOR 2 HOURS WHEN GOING UP AND SMALL GRADE INCLINE. ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN VERY QUICKLY. WAS IN TRAFFIC, SO HAD TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF THOUGH IT WAS BRAKING. THE HILL DESCENT CONTROL LIGHT LIT UP, BUT NO OTHER LIGHTS. CAR DID NOT STALL. I THEN TURNED IT OFF, OPENED THE HOOD AND EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. CAR WAS AT NORMAL OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE AND HAD 1/4 TANK IF FUEL LEFT. CAR WAS INFO FOR SERVICE WITHIN 500 MILES AT SUBARU. AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE, I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND TOOK OFF. 30 MINUTES LATER, THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OCCURED.
