1 Brake Funny Noise problem of the 2001 Subaru Forester

Failure Date: 06/10/2013

On Monday at 4:50 pm I was driving n a school zone and realized that I was having to ride my breaks I also thought there was some funny noise from the engine. I rolled down my window and couldn¿t hear any thing. As I approached the stop sign my car would not stop and I pressed my breaks all the way down. The rpm¿s went all the way into the red and my car continued about 4 to 6 feet with breaks all the way down. When car finely came to a stop I placed it in park because I thought this my stop my car from going into gear again and the rpm¿s continued to rise more into the red. I was afraid and placed it in drive with foot on break to get it into the parking lot I took a right. When I had to stop in the lot the car would not stop and the rpm¿s went up all the way as my foot was on the break it went about 3 extra feet before coming to a stop. I placed it in park and quickly turned the car off. I turned the car on to see if it would reset but the rpm went all the way up again. A man claiming to be a mechanic looked at my throttles to make sure they were not stuck and took one finger and tapped on the throttle sensor. I started the care again and the rpm¿s were back to a normal amount. The dealers have not been able to replicate and have found no fault in the diagnostic testing. Cause unknow.
