2006 Subaru Outback Vehicle speed control Problems

“I was driving on the highway traveling about 70 miles per hour in the mountains of colorado when my car's accelerator stopped working. I was on a sharp downhill curve when I was no longer able to accelerate my car to keep up with traffic. This was extremely dangerous as I was almost hit by the cars behind me. There was no warning prior to the incident.”

“As I was driving on the freeway, suddenly the check engine light came on, I lost thrust even though the engine was still turning at 2000 RPM, and my car started to slow down. Luckily I was already in the right lane, so it was easy to pull off the road. I went to autozone to have them read the code. The code was p2138 which is the pedal position sensor.”

“While driving at highway and city street speeds the check engine light comes on/the cruise control flashes and car goes limp, gas pedal stops working. A code that has shown up is p2138.very dangerous. When I put the car in neutral the engine revs to a constant 3,000 RPM. It has happened to me on 3 occasions.”

“I was driving on the interstate and when I got onto the exit ramp, the vehicle gas pedal stopped working and the check engine light came on along with flashing cruise control light. I coasted into a dealership with hazard lights on at about 10mph. Diagnosis was a faulty accelerator pedal sensor. This could have been very dangerous if I was in heavy traffic or still on the interstate. Car only has 53,000 miles on it.”

“While driving my Subaru yesterday, I suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. The car speed dropped to 10 MPH. I pulled off the road and restarted car twice. Barely enough acceleration to get car to 18 MPH. The check engine light remained on and the cruise light blinked continously. Took car to dealer today. Error code is p2138. Dealer cannot find what is wrong with car. I am concerned about going onto highways and having this happen.”
