Description of the problem | I was driving down a highway going up a bridge over the mississippi river at about 65mph when a bunch of lights came on and my engine completely stopped. I could not accelerate at all and i had to switch from the left-hand lane to the right -hand lane to get onto the shoulder. This was an extremely unsafe condition. My car speed and went to 65 mph to about 0 mph in the matter of a minute. I do you see that many people on the internet have complained about the same type of incident happening. This needs to be addressed immediately by subaru. My check engine light came on my emissions control light came on in my traction control light came on. Luckily i was able to safely get to the shoulder while 65 mph cars were zooming past me. I was able to restart my car and make it to the dealership. Hopefully they will be able to come up with a resolution for the issue that i am seeing. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of folks on the internet are having similar issues and they are not being addressed. |
