| Description of the problem | On approximately 04/13/2014 approximately at 6:00 pm et, my suburu outback 2010 rapidly accelerated when my foot was centered on the brake petal and i moved the gear from neutral to drive. The vehicle lurched forward, engine highly revved. I pushed hard as possible on the brake and shoved the gear back into neutral. The engine was racing and i switched off the power. I powered back up and the temperature gauge, gas mileage calculator, etc. Was out. The ac/heat temperature and control screen was out. The fan control only would work and put out extreme heat. The outside mirror motors would not work. For the next 30 minutes on the way home i stopped several times and experienced the same electrical conditions upon restart. On april 14, 2014, all systems were normal when i started the engine. I took it to the dealer was told they would replace the switch (keys) but had no information on rapid acceleration out of control. I am concerned this will happen again and result in wreck and/or injury to myself and/or others. No mats were in the car at time of incident. *tt |
