    no its like when you rev the engine. I was hitting 40 then the car slowed down like if I had it in Neutral. The fan turns on everytime that I turn the car on. Not even when the car is heated. The temperature is to cold. I cant figure it out.

    yes. We found the problem the abs sensor was chopped and carbonised. we ordered a new one and its working fine.

    When yo say it locked, how do you mean that, what did it feel like? Does it feel at all like a brake holding?

This is a communication error with the BIU (body integrated unit). Need to take to the dealer, possible that the ECU needs to be replaced to fix this issue. It should be covered under the federal emmission wrty.

2005 Subaru Legacy GT

I suggest you to have a ELM327 OBD2 with bluetooth connection (around 10-25$ on internet stores) + torque app to your phone. cheap and works just fine for checking engine error codes, and resetting malfunction lights. I think you were lucky to find correct answer on the internet, because without any further inspection they all are nothing else but lucky guesses. (and changing different sensors randomly based on guesses willcome very expensive.) If you watch this video it explain why in situation like you have is hard find correct answer to a specific problem.
