Description of the problem	I was driving my forrester 2019, notice that it would slowly move once i stopped at a stop sign. But then it would jerk into a faster pace. Yesterday as i was driving, i stop at a bank atm. When i went back to the vehicle i put my key in the ignition and nothing happened. Not a sound. So tried it several more times with the same results. I had to call for roadside service. They came and gave me a jump. The vehicle started with no problem. I did as the service person told me to let the vehicle run for at least 30 minutes so the cells can build up in the battery, so i did as i was told. As i would turn the corners on the streets-the steering became very difficult, (in both directions). Especially after turning at a stop sign, so as i were driving i notice the dash board would keep blinking. I took a photo of the gages on the dashboard. The eyesight light stayed, but the others kept blinking off and on. I drove the vehicle home and tried to parallel park in front of my house but the wheels would not allow me to do so. So i parked the car across the street where their were a lot more space and i parked there. I set there for another 30 minute before turning off the engine. Once i turned the engine off and tried to start the engine again it fell to turn over. No sound or anything just like earlier. In 2018 they replace my battery, because i was having to call for roadside service up to 3-4 times a week because the battery would die out on me. All this took place in a period of 3-4 months. Now this battery is approximately 10-12 months old. When i took it in for the new battery, i was told the battery was to small for the car. So now i am stuck at home without a vehicle until the subaru shop opens on monday and hopefully they can fix the problem. I

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
