Description of the problem	I was driving when suddenly my car would not go forward more than a few mph, the check engine light came on and the cruise control was flashing. Thankfully i was only doing about 30 miles an hour in town. I pulled over, turned my car off, turned it back on and it wouldn't start. I started it for a 2nd time and it started and i drove home. I took it to my subarus only mechanic of 17 years (i'm on my 4th subie) who thought the error code of p2138 was odd. He told me to let him know if it happened again.... And it did a few days later so i took it back in. My mechanic called subaru and found out this was not an uncommon problem. I've only had it back a day so i'm not sure if the problem has been fixed. I certainly hope it has as i'm terrified of the thought of this happening on the highway doing 70 mph on my way to work in horrible traffic. After getting on the internet, this long-time subaru lover is surprised and disappointed that subaru hasn't done a recall on this problem. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be addressed.
