Yesterday after I got home from work, I pulled my car in the garage, and like I sometimes do, I reved it up. It did something different than it usually does though. When the rpms reached 3000 the engine started to cut out. It would just bounce there off the 3000 mark and would not let it go any higher. I know some vehicles have the saftey mechanisms in place, but why would it just start doing it now out of the blue. It did this in park and in neutral. When in drive, the engine preformed mormally. Also when I shut the vehicle off and turned it back on and tried to rev it in park or neutral, it preformed normally. The vehicles is an 07 Outlander and has less than 3000 miles on it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is concerning me a bit!!

Well the outtie has a rev limiter, but its not set that low. Sounds like a sensor had been tripped for heat or something since you had just got home from driving. Like a self safety feature. Since you restarted and it didnt happen again, it probably reset.
I wouldnt worry about it, unless it starts happening all the time.
