2006 Subaru OUTBACK Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

 Issue ID1055015
 Internal NHTSA #10577797
 ManufacurerSubaru of America, Inc.

 Model Year2006
 File date21/02/14
 ComponentVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type codeVEHICLE
 Description of the problemI was driving the vehicle at a steady rate of 50mph. Suddenly the cruise control indicator light illuminated and began to flash as well as the check engine indicator light. The vehicle also became unresponsive to the accelerator when pressed or depressed. The vehicle would maintain a speed about 20mph even after coming to a complete stop. After pulling to the side of the road and engaging the hazard lights, i put the car in park. The rpm gauge then skyrockets to 3000-4000 rpm and the engine becomes really loud. I turn the key off and let the car sit for a few minutes. Neglecting to sit for a few minutes results in the same behavior. After starting the car again the cruise control indicator light still flashes and the check engine indicator light remains on. After 3 restarts both indicator lights are off and all seems fine. After taking it to the dealership they told me it is a "bad accelerator and it has been replaced recently". The dealership then reset the code. This has happened over 10 times in the last 3 months and continues to happen on a random basis. Loss of power and control is unsafe and needs to be addressed.
