Description of the problem	An accelerator that became unresponsive while driving 65mph on 3 lane highway. This problem is prevalent with subaru and you can read about many people who have the problem which is an extreme safety issue. If you go online and search for subaru outback code p2138/throttle position sensor you will find that the sensor has intermitent failures which cause the accelerator to become unresponsive. Even when people get this reset at a mechanic and supposedly fixed it will begin recurring again. Or sometimes the mechanic cannot make the car fail because the problem is a sensor and the problem is intermittent. Subaru must fix this problem!! This has happened to me 5 times now over the last year.
