THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, PULLING ONTO MAIN TWO-WAY ROAD, THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED ON, CAR JERKED AND THEN STALLED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS 50 MPH CARS AND TRUCKS WERE COMING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AT US - WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR, SCREAMING THEIR HEADS OFF. I MANAGED TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART AND PULL OVER, GOT VEHICLE TOWED. CURRY SUBARU COMPUTER COULDN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING. SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED 02/17/2011, MAKING A LEFT ONTO A MAIN ROAD. MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO BE KILLED, THE CAR DASH LIGHTS FLASHED AND CAR DIED. I MANAGED TO RESTART AND JERK FORWARD. THIS CAR IS A DEATH-TRAP. MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS OTHERS WITH SAME EXACT SITUATION. I BROUGHT CAR TO MY DEALER - BILL KOLB - WITH NO SATISFACTION. CAR REVVS FORWARD AT TIMES DURING NORMAL DRIVING. SITING MANY ON LINE COMPLAINTS, SUBARU MUST BE WELL AWARE OF THE DANGER THIS SITUATION PRESENTS, I CANNOT OPERATE THIS CAR - MY CHILDREN ARE TERRIFIED AFTER TWO INCIDENTS OF NEAR COLLISIONS.
