Description of the problem	While driving down i-25 the car lost all power and had no acceleration. The car would only idle, i noticed a check engine light on. I had the car towed to a repair shop and when the code was read a p2138 that had to do with the accelerator the mechanic said it happens alot with this year subaru. He told me by just shutting the car off and waiting a few minutes it would have driven normal,when he started it again it did drive normal. He sends them to a subaru dealer and tells the people that if enough of us complain or fill in a report then something may be done. This is a very unsafe car if it loses all power driving down the highway!
