Description of the problem	Our defective, now discontinued model, new 2017 subaru forester xt touring has broken down while accelerating on the highway twice due to a faulty piston thus leading to our engine being replaced. The first time the car was moving east on i-70 in colorado and luckily my husband was able to veer in the median of an exit ramp. The second time we were traveling east on i-70 again and luckily were able to pull off on the side of the freeway. This all began at 22,352 miles and to-date the "market value" of repairs has accumulated to $16,100. 00. This same engine issue has happened two years in a row, yet a subaru representative [verbally, not written] mentioned to us that it is cheaper for subaru to fix vehicle by vehicle that comes in instead of issuing a nation-wide recall on our model. We were told our forester xt [mini suv] has the same engine that is in an impreza [four door sedan] which is not safe and is not right to the consumer.
