| Description of the problem | Loss of engine power/acceleration. Traveling home in our 2015 forester, vin [xxx], 93k miles, when we encountered a problem. On the interstate, traveling approximately 70mph, our forester seemed to come out of gear, all the dash lights illuminated & the gas pedal would not work as far as actually accelerating the car (the gas pedal would ? Rev up? When pressed, but there was no actual acceleration happening with the engine). There was no warning; no engine issues; no warning lights on the dash prior to this event. We were luckily able to pull safely off the interstate. We did shut the car off in hopes of ? Resetting? Something but could not get the car to restart (it would just crank). Therefore, we had to have it towed. This is the third time this has happened in the past year on this vehicle. We have taken it to our trusted local mechanic. No issues were found, and no codes were identified. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
