Description of the problem	Bought the car from a toyota dealer in june 2011. Within 5 days of buying it, when driving the car on highway, within 15 mins of driving, all of a sudden the car jerks, with a sudden drop in speed, with the check engine light turned on and cruise light starting to blink. Car would not speed up no matter how much the accelerator is pressed. I had to pull the car to the side of the road. I have taken it several times to subaru service... They seem to know what the problem is and attempt to fix it - i pay them and drive it back home and, the same problem persists. I get the same code each time - p0638. Replaced throttle body. Replaced timing belt. Replaced the throttle control relay. Etc. The mechanics seem to test drive it and find no problem with it. Every time they seem confident that they have fixed it. But, everytime i begin to drive, the car faults and the speed drops in the middle of the road. It is a danger to anyone in the car and to passengers in other cars.
