Tl* the contact owns a 2010 subaru outback. The contact stated that while driving at any speed, the gears would shift independently and without warning. In addition, the vehicle would lunge forward abnormally when the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the same failure where the dealer advised the contact that they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 40,000.
Sudden acceleration disabling the cruise control to slow down and then hitting the resume button caused the car to surge . The RPM increased from 2000 to 6000 RPM. This occurs whenever the set speed is 20mph greater than the current speed. The dealer could not correct this, claiming that the full acceleration is by design. Wide open throttle is not a good practice since it makes the car hard to control. What belongs on a race track not on a highway.
