pslane Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have a 2015 Legacy and I love the car. But lately it seems like I don't have complete control over my acceleration, when starting off, especially in reverse. Yesterday, I backed into someone because of this. When I first pressed the gas pedal, it felt as if it wasn't going to move. Then it accelerated too much and there I went. There are times when just easing off very slowly is necessary but with my car, this is hard to do. What is the cause and can anything be done? ~Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It sounds like a defective throttle sending unit. This should turn on the check engine light I do believe. Regardless, this is unacceptable on a car this new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pslane Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thank you for the reply. I was out today and didn't notice this happening again so I guess I will keep an eye on it. Hopefully, it won't happen again because, as you say, it is certainly unacceptable ( and scary). This is a fairly big group here so if there had been any others with the problem, I'm sure they would say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
