| Description of the problem | I leased this vehicle on june 2015. Back on 8/26/2017 while driving on freeway and going 70 mile and hour, car suddenly died in the middle of freeway. I almost got killed by a truck that was behind my vehicle. They towed this car to glendale subaru and after two days, they said they could not find anything. Since that incident i have taken the vehicle back to dealer for performance and transmission issue. In addition, some major electrical issue with the isite system. The dealer charged me over $2000. 00 for unrelated repairs. The car has a major issue in cold and hot ideal. Many complaints were filed to subaru customer service and they did not assist me at all. |
