| Description of the problem | The vehicle is a 2010 subaru forester. When the car was put in reverse to back into a parking space and the gas pedal was pressed the car accelerated as if the gas pedal had been floored. The brakes were slammed on and no damage was done. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. The floor mat was in the normal position and was not involved. I was driving the car. This same thing happened with my wife driving the car on 12/10/2010. See id# 10370392. |
