Description of the problem	My car has been experiencing episodes where it suddenly stops accelerating while i am driving. This has happening both on city streets, and on the highway. It's mostly about 5 minutes after i initially turned the car on, but not always. I will be driving normally and all of a sudden the check engine lights and cruise control lights will come on and then the car will instantly stop accelerating with no additional warning. The most recent time this has happened, my car actually sped up without me pressing on the gas pedal. The code reads p2138. After turning my car off and waiting a few minutes it drives fine (although sometimes the lights are still on). I have had a subaru dealership check out the problem and after looking at the car for about one week they could not find the problem. The problem is that this issue appears suddenly but then goes away so that by the time i can get it over to a mechanic it is no longer an issue. This has been going on for about 4 months and i would say i've experienced the issue about 6-7 times. It is very dangerous when i am driving on the highway and the car stops accelerating.
