Description of the problem | On a freezing day in november 2019, while running an errand first thing in the morning, my 2013 subaru outback revved and tried to accelerate when i was driving that i had to push the brakes down all the way to control the speed. I put the car in neutral while pulling up to a stoplight. It quit revving so much, so when the light turned green, i put back in drive and was controllable. I let the car sit for an hour and drove again towards our local subaru dealership. While en route, it revved and accelerated as before. I was able to put in neutral and it quit revving. When i arrived at the dealership, the car wasn't revving any more. The service tech said unless it was doing it when i brought in, they wouldn't be able to identify. The car has not revved since. However, i read an article about this problem in other year outbacks and wanted to make the nhtsa aware. |
