My 2010 Subaru Legacy automatic. . . While accelerating on an incline lost all acceleration, car acted as if it was in neutral, no response from the throttle.

Dealer says he can't recreate the problem and the diagnostics reveal no error codes. Afraid to drive my new Subaru.
The contact owns a 2010 Subaru Legacy. While in reverse and attempting to park, the vehicle rolled down a hill and crashed into an embankment. The brakes had not engaged when applied. The failure was the second occurrence of the brakes not working. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership but the dealer could not diagnose the failure. The VIN was unavailable at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 2,000.
The car experiences a 2-3 second intermittent hesitation followed by the car jetting forward. In addition, the vehicle has experienced occasional stalling.
