2006 Subaru LEGACY Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	16/04/13
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving in the left lane of the highway during rush hour when the accelerator stopped responding. I would push the gas pedal and nothing would happen. The engine seemed to be running nominally (idling, since the accelerator wasn't working). No unusual sounds, no jerking, nothing. Then the check engine light came on. I managed to get across the lanes of traffic coasting and rolled slowly into a gas station. I turned the car off and turned it back on and everything worked fine again. I finished driving to work without incident. I went after work and had the check engine code read. It was a stored code (no longer actively faulted) of p2138 which is a throttle position sensor error. I've been reading online and this appears to be very common and an ongoing problem for lots of people. It is incredibly dangerous to not be able to control your car randomly in the middle of the road. Hopefully you can help make subaru fix this safety issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
