One problem related to speed control linkage has been reported for the 2001 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On six occasions while driving, the driver's foot slipped from the brake pedal to accelerator pedal unexpectedly. The consumer believed there was a design problem due to insufficient space between the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. The brake pedal and accelerator pedal are too close. On two other occasions, while moving slowly ahead, the vehicle had gone out of control. Scc.
