Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2012
File date	05/09/12
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving straight at 40mph, no acceleration or deceleration. Car without warning suddenly stopped, as if it had shifted into first gear and i had slammed on the brakes. When i pressed on gas the car would not move but did make revving sounds. I looked at gear shift and it was no longer in drive. I think it was in manual. I doubt i had accidentally moved the gear shift because i was not moving around in my seat and i was driving straight, not turning the steering wheel. This car is an automatic (cvt). I've only driven two miles since but it seems to be working fine now.
