Description of the problem	First notice this a couple of years ago but is happening more frequently now. Started when you would have a low speed hard left turn such as in a parking lot a/c would stop working, power steering would shut down and then everything would come back to normal. More recently it's been happening while driving down the road. It feels as though the engine quits and usually after a few seconds everything comes back on. The other day i had 4 or 5 occurrences with in 7 miles, the last time was turning onto the street i live on and it was mid left turn almost ran into the street sign pole when the power steering failed. I stop by a suburu dealer and the service writer acted as though he had never heard of it. It is all over the internet. This is not safe and i have had to many issues with my suburu.
