Description of the problem	I continuously receive error p2138 on my 2006 subaru legacy. This error is associated with throttle/pedal position sensor/switch. This appears to be a common error related to the sensor on the gas pedal or the throttle body for this make and model and other subaru models around the same time frame. This issue causes the vehicle to loose power/ability of the gas pedal of the vehicle at unknown times. This has happened while driving on the highway at 60+mph, i am lucky no accidents have occurred so far. If i am unable to pull off to the shoulder, i have to stop the car in the middle of the highway or road and turn the car off and try and restart. See links attached as this appears to be a common issue for the past 5 years for other subaru users. Http://www. Subaruoutback.
