Consumer Description

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.
