| Description of the problem | Issue: occasional non-response when depressing the accelerator. 1st occurrence about three weeks ago happen when i stopped for a light and then attempted to accelerate. Depressing the pedal has no response, attempted this three times. The rpm gauge reflected it was running. I turned on the car and started it again and it worked. 2nd occurrence happened again after a stop. Same as above. 3rd occurrence may 6 2017 returning from bwi in baltimore on the interstate, i was in heavy traffic. I had to slow quickly for a truck and then saw an opening in the left lane and pulled out into the left lane and attempted to accelerate with no response. A car moving fast in the left lane almost hit me since i could not accelerate. I pumped the accelerator twice and it then accelerated. 4th occurrence may 6th 2017 departing a parking lot i was moving slowly then attempted to accelerate and experienced a delayed response. Pumped the pedal twice to get the response. Went to a subaru dealer after the first two occurrences and they said they could not identify the problem. The dealer called again and requested we bring the car in again april11th. A web search revealed about 24 other like occurrences with outback about the same year and make. |
