Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Please refer to code p2138 - throttle/pedal position sensor switch with "d"/"e" voltage correlation dtc severity 2 of 3 repair -- i believe elaine chao should be made aware of the safety issues affecting the general public regarding this dangerous issue -- my subaru outback accelerator will shut down on the highway almost every day. Subaru is aware that this is a pervasive problem affecting thousands of subarus and should be forced to issue a recall. I'll be going 75 mph and then suddenly there will be no power and the car will coast to a stop in the middle of the highway. This then shuts down everyone on i35 and i almost get hit from behind multiple times a week.
