Description of the problem	Two times, while driving on the highway at about 65 mph, my car lost the ability to accelerate. It was as though the car slipped into neutral. I pushed the accelerator pedal and the rpm's would increase, but the car wouldn't accelerate. It simply slowed down. Both times the highway was empty enough that i was able to drift into the shoulder. Once i pulled over, i turned off the car and waited a few minutes. When i turned it back on, the car started and acceleration worked as normal. Both times i brought it to a local subaru dealership, and after running some tests said they couldn't find any issues, and couldn't help me any further. I've found other people who have experienced very similar problems, but it seems like no one has found a solution.
