Description of the problem	Our subaru forester shuts down as we drive on the expressway. It has happened 4 times now on 10/24/2016, 3/28/2017, 5/31/2017, and 12/31/2018. It happens only on the expressway during long road trips. The gas tank is usually below a quarter tank, but the check gauge light is not on and the meter says there's 50-70 miles left. We have been lucky to be on 2-lane expressways and to be able to coast the vehicle to the shoulder every time so far. Shortly after the engine stops accelerating, every single warning light on the dashboard lights up and 50% of the time we cannot get the car to restart. Our infant has been traveling with us in the backseat of the vehicle when this has happened and on the last occasion we had to be rescued by state troopers and taken to a safe and warm location because it was single digit temperatures. We have taken the car in for diagnosis and repair every time and they cannot replicate the issue. One time they said it was a bad batter cell and replaced the battery; another time they thought it was the fuel sensors and replaced both of those, yet we are still experiencing the problem. We believe there is a defect with our vehicle and it is putting us in a life-threatening situation. The car has now been in the shop since 1/9 without resolution.
