| Description of the problem | Yesterday morning, i stopped my subaru in order to back into a parking space. The car was in drive and my foot was on the brake. While my foot was still on the brake and i was changing gears from drive to reverse, the engine started accelerating full-throttle. I had to press the brake pedal very hard to prevent the car from going down the hillside behind the parking lot. I put the car back in park with the engine revving full-throttle and turned the ignition off. After this incident the car operated normally |
