Description of the problem | I driove out of my driveway one block to stop sign. Only going 10 or so mph when i depressed brake to stop at stop sign . Power brakes did not respond until pedal was depressed hard to floor. Then when stopped the engine reved up and i did not take my foot off brake. The engine seemed to roar like in a very low gear. I checked gears and put it in neutral, then park and reverse, engine still roaring. But as my foot was hard on brake, it did not go into four lane traffic ahead. I turned off engine with key and the engine reving stopped.. When i turned the car on again the brakes worked normally and acceleration was normal . It seemed to reset and i was able to drive it to subaru dealer for repairs albeit very slowly. I probably should have had it towed. There are no floor mats in the car. Driver not impaired. This occurred around 10 am on a clear august day temperature around 75 degrees . |
