Description of the problem	For the second time my check engine light has come on and my car has gone into a fail safe mode while driving (eliminating the ability to accelerate). The code the computer provides is p2138, which refers to the throttle position sensors (there are two) not being in agreement. I took the car to white bear lake subaru in white bear lake, mn to have this issue resolved. They did not replicate the check engine light and therefore would not perform any service. The issue again happened, this time over 1,000 miles away in georgia and i was almost run over by multiple vehicles as i tried to get to the side of the road - the car was not responding. Therefore, this issue is a serious safety hazard.
