    I can only speculate that water is forcibly entering the harness (high pressure from the car wash) and is somehow causing the sensor to go out of range.
    Did you tell the dealer that the symptoms began after the car wash?
    That accel pedal sensor assembly is inside the vehicle and should be well protected. There is a bulletin that speaks directly to water intrusion to this harness.

    No I didn't wasn't really sure if I should because I wash the car a few times since the first repair and nothing happened

    Just for future reference, it's always important to give as much information as you can to whomever is servicing your vehicle. Something that you may not think be related could be the direct cause of your problem.
