    Go to your ALFA dealership and get the recall done
    It will fix it.

    Gotta say I fell in love with the car on first sight, problem is that I've made two to three trips to the dealership in the last 14 to 20 days for electronic throttle and service engine lights. Wondering if this is something you've experienced with your car in the time after this video? How'd it turn out?

      I did not have multiple trips to the dealership, but when it started having this problem, the car was out for over a month. I also really love these cars, but it seems like they have many mechanical issues.

    depressing the brake and feathering the throttle Will cause a check engine light on occasion due to the "Prius Effect", this is to prevent Unintended Acceleration.
    Its a built in safety mechanism,
    This safety mechanism will trigger if both pedals are depressed over a certain amount of time. You will generally be forced into a LIMP Mode and you will receive a check engine light for the throttle-body. The simple solution, is to stop the car and cycle the ignition a few times and this will clear that code.
