Description of the problem	Driving along - check engine light comes on and cruise control light flashes. I immediately lose acceleration - need to pull over (thank god i was not on a major highway when this accurs). Have to turn car off - wait a few minutes and then restart. Lights still stay on but acceleration is normal. I have seen many different reason codes for this problem - i am now taking to my personal mechanic to have him go over it and hopefully fix this. Very, very scary situation when it happens. Do not think i should have to take my life in my hands when i drive this vehicle!!! One would think that a reputable company like subaru would stand behind this dangerous flaw with their product and correct the issue!!! *js
