| Description of the problem | On 2 separate occasions was driving my 2015 subaru forester (touring edition) at highway speed, 70 mph, the car lost power and started decelerating. Luckily both times i was able to get over to the shoulder. The car re-started after awhile. The first time the low fuel light was on but i had over 50 miles left according to fuel sensor. The second time, a month or so later, no low fuel light was on. There were 2 bars left on the fuel gauge. Again car totally decelerated and then a few minutes later was able to be driven. Subaru dealership claims they have not heard of this problem but someone did call them about it the day before i called. I am scheduling an appointment where they say they will do a diagnostic on it. I am seeing multiple complaints on this exact car on carcomplaints. Com this is an extremely dangerous problem and subaru should not be waiting for fatalities to happen before recalling these cars. |
