When I applied the brake and slowed down while entering the garage, the car became uncontrollable. It revved and accelerated hitting the wall between the garage and laundry room. The car came to rest approximately 4 feet inside the laundry room. My foot was not on the gas; floor mat was anchored to the floor and was not involved.

On October 10, 2014 at 6:13 am I drove home from the gym. As I approached my house I opened the garage door and the light came on. I slowed down and applied the brake before entering the garage, but the car became uncontrollable. It revved and accelerated hitting the wall between the garage and laundry room. It felt like I was in an airplane taking off a runway. The car came to rest approximately 4 feet inside the laundry room. My foot was not on the gas; floor mat was anchored to the floor and was not involved the only thing that stopped me from going through the back wall of my house was the washing machine. The car pushed it into the wall. I was in shock and dazed, but managed to get out of the car and go seek help from a neighbor across. He had heard the impact from the accident and came immediately. I have a home alarm system so the accident immediately alerted the alarm company, my call list people, and neighbors. I did report accident to Subaru, in writing.
