Description of the problem | 2015 subaru outback 2. 5i limited - monday 6 july 2015 - while driving, the check engine light, collision prevention off light, line warning off light, and x-mode light messages displayed. I had not disengaged the collision prevention or line warning lights and had not engaged the x-mode feature. There was no message indicating no brake lights. Made appointment for thursday morning 9 july. Based on service advisor's advice that it was ok to drive the car until i brought it in, i drove the car for two days with no brake lights. (discovered this when my wife followed me to the dealer.) there should be a message to alert the driver brake lights are not operable. After service appointment thursday (flashed computer to clear codes), noticed the vehicle was sluggish. While driving at 60 mph friday afternoon 10 july sluggishness continued to increase, gear shifting became erratic, then the collision prevention off light and line warning off light messages displayed - but no check engine light. Shortly thereafter the vehicle totally failed to maintain speed or accelerate. Coasted off the exit ramp and called for a tow truck. Do not know whether brake lights were operable while this was occurring. I am aware there is a recall wqs-54 on the eye-sight system (which we showed the dealer service advisor). Having no way to know if brake lights are operable is a severe safety hazard. I have not received any notification from subaru regarding this recall. Updated 11/14/2017*cn |
