When we were driving the 2011 subaru outback on the road on july 5,2019, the fuel gauge suddenly shifted from almost full to zero. The car stopped and we placed it in park.

While pulling into a parking space, there was sudden acceleration as if the choke had turn on, similar to when starting the vehicle. It lasted only a short while, but i did have to put the vehicle in neutral. This also occurred once before approx. One month prior this , while pulling into my garage. Am curious if any other reports of this type have been reported. *tr

This should be replaced by subaru - i shouldn't need a…
