It made the car go.
A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of excitement, as my '06 Outback decided to act as if it had no accelerator pedal--the last 20 miles to my destination were traveled at a fast idle, 5 mph uphill and as fast as I liked downhill. All worked fine after I restarted the car to head home, but I discovered that other Outbacks of similar age and mileage had reported similar problems linked to the sensors in the pedal. If the two sensors don't send roughly identical signals, the car goes into a limp mode to prevent a runaway car. Some reported that it didn't happen a second time for months, but others experienced this multiple times a day. My wife expressed a desire for it not to happen a second time, so a new pedal was in order.
It's an easy replacement (if you can get twisted around to reach up under the dash below the steering wheel): unplug the wiring harness, remove two short bolts, and reverse the steps with the new part. A dab of dielectric grease wouldn't hurt. The new pedal has worked just as it's supposed to, and we're back on the road.
