What owners wrote
2007 subaru outback 2.5I, 5-speed manual transmission -- when my foot is taken off the accelerator to shift the engine actually accelerates rather than decelerates. It causes the car to jump forward much quicker than the driver planned when the next gear is selected. This is a safety issue that needs to be corrected.
2007 subaru outback wagon [xxx] purchased car new. Had what I called engine 'revving' or increased acceleration from first week of driving car. Reported problem to dealer and they went through a series of repairs with no change in performance. They sent a 'corporate' mechanic to test the car. He experienced the increased rpm's without stepping on the gas pedal but stated the car was normal.
