| Description of the problem | 1. While driving around a snowy corner on xxx road, the vehicle lost complete control when all of its anti-slip, anti-swerve and anti-lock systems all immediately failed a simultaneously. My vehicle is currently experiencing the following safety defects: 2. While driving on the palisades parkway on 8/08/06, under a year from its purchase, we heard a loud band in the engine compartment. There was a loss of control of the vehicle, several warning lights went off on the dashboard, including the oil light. The vehicle then began pouring a thick white smoke that i couldn't see through, out from under the hood and also out of the tailpipe. Not only was i unable to see through the front windshield, the potential for an oil fie was tremendous!!!!! This is the second hazardous situation this vehicle put me through. There was a banging noise in the engine compartment with a major loss of power. I performed an emergency stop and pulled into the south bound sunoco station. Upon stopping the vehicle i discovered oil streaming form under the front of the vehicle. There was enough oil to completely cover the pavement under the vehicle, i believe it was several quarts. I then contacted subaru roadside service who picked up the vehicle. You can contact jeffs towing service for additional information on the vehicles condition. *jb |
