| Description of the problem | Similar to complain dated 12/09/2016 by someone else. About a year ago i was at a light waiting to turn left, my foot was on the brake when suddenly the engine revved up and i had to switch to neutral to return to idle speed. I notified a subaru representative on the internet. This month i had 4 occasions that i had similar experience in a shopping mall trying to turn right into a parking space. This friday i tried to park in my garage after 5 miles drive, and my wife was a passenger, i turned the wheel slightly to the left when the engine revved up from idle of 600 to 2000 rpm and then went to 4000 rpm. I was using the brake and i felt a skid of a tire. Switched to neutral and park and turned off the engine. My wife was scared and would not ride in my car. I have an appointment with my wakefield subaru dealer on 09/25/18, i did not drive my car since the last episode. My odometer is 14241 miles. I am positive i did not step on the gas, only the brake. |
