Description of the problem	Vehicle is a 2006 subaru outback sedan 'll bean edition. Upon traveling to work at 5:30am, going up hill at 40 mpg, the gas pedal stopped working but the engine was at high rpm. The check engine light came on steady with cruise control light flashing. Had to shut the car off, put on hazard lights as this was a dark road. Tried unsuccessfully twice to get the car to start. On the third try it started and pedal did work but the check engine light stayed on with the cruise light flashing. Drove slowly to work which was a mile away and the safest place to park the car. Upon getting it to my garage later that day they scanned the codes from the computer and it showed a p2138-throttle /pedal positioning sensor. Had to get the complete gas pedal with sensor from a authorized subaru dealership and replace it. Was fortunate i was not in traffic or a major highway. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed! *js
