2002 Subaru Outback Vehicle speed control Problems

“Just started car and pulled up to stop light and hit break pedal. All of a sudden there was a sudden acceleration and the car started forward and I had to lean on the break very hard to stop. This occurred 2 times both after starting the car after at least a 1 hour off time. I thought at first it was my foot on both pedals but the second time I stopped the car with my left foot and was nowhere near the accelerator. I contacted Subaru but they denied any problem. …”

“Vehicle experienced sudden acceleration. Owner was pulling into a school parking lot when suddenly the vehicle began to accelerate. The engine revved, and the driver had both feet on the brake while the vehicle continued to accelerate. Driver put the vehicle in neutral, and allowed the vehicle to coast before it shut down.”

“Upper front fuel line and connection to throttle body? Is leaking raw gas and fuel is pooling on top of engine just outward of upper exhaust manifold area.”

“2002 Subaru Outback wagon has 48,000 miles. Car stalls at red lights, sputters and hesitates when trying to accelerate from a stop. Dangerous trying to get on highway. Dealer tested all systems and said nothing was wrong with the car. Independent mechanic tested it and said main computer not working properly. Check engine light never came on. Mechanic reset computer but suggested I get rid of the car asap”

“Dangerous hesitation in first and second gears especially. At stop light, upon attempting to accelerate, car bogged down, rpms dipped and nearly stalled before car finally accelerated with a violent jerk forward and back. Has happened on numerous occasions. Very dangerous-nearly been in three accidents already. So far the dealer has bled the clutch, adjusted the clutch, replaced the clutch, replaced knock sensor, replaced coolant temp sensor and replaced front oxygen sensor and problem still as bad as ever if not worse.”
