Description of the problem	On february 25 i was driving my subaru on a city street and traveling about 40 mph. I noticed that a traffic light ahead of me would be turning red so i tried to slow down. The power brakes did not work at all. Not only did the power brakes go out but the car began to accelerate on it's own. I looked around for options and decided i could turn off into a parking lot. The brakes (not the power brakes but the back up system brakes) grabbed just enough to slow me down so that i was able to pull off safely into the parking lot. I drove through the parking lot to a place with no cars and was finally able to get the car to stop. As i put the car in park the engine rpms revved up to 4000 so the car engine was obviously still trying to propel the car. I turned off the car and called my husband. When he came, he got into the car and checked things like the car mat position which was in the correct place. He started the car and it was as if the car had got it's brain back. He drove it immediately to the dealership. The dealership could not find anything wrong but did update our computer system. We have not had any problems since then.
