Subaru Outback Power Train Safety Report | Sept 05, 2012
Reported on Sept 05, 2012
| 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. *TR | |
