Description of the problem	On three separate occasions thus far, while driving approximately 70 mph on interstate 93 in massachusetts and new hampshire, my 2017 subaru forester touring (with 21k miles) lost power and completely shutdown. All three times, i was luckily able to steer the vehicle to safety while avoiding other motor vehicles and neither myself, my passengers nor anyone else around us was hurt. When the vehicle decides to shutdown, it feels like the car drops itself into neutral, the rpms shoot up to about 4500-5000 and all of the lights on the dashboard light up. There is about a five second window to steer the vehicle to safety from when you first detect that the issue is occurring. After waiting for about 45 minutes after the incident, i am able to start the car back up and drive it. This is a serious safety concern of mine (and it is terrifying when it happens) and i have already contacted subaru of america asking for a solution. I am now currently only using the car on short trips and if i have to get on the highway, i stick to the right lane and do not go over 60 mph.
