| Description of the problem | There are actually three issues with the vehicle. The biggest issue, and potentially the most dangerous, is the vehicle randomly shutting itself off - not stalling. The problem occurs most often while stopped at lights, but has occurred in other situations as well. All functions in the vehicle stop, a loud, continuous beep begins and the dash indicates an 'eye site' error. Apparently, when the eye site feature has an issue, it responds by rendering the entire vehicle inoperable. So far, returning the vehicle to park and restarting the vehicle resets the feature and restores functionality. The problem is, however, happening more frequently. The second issue is a loud, rapid clicking sound coming from behind the driver's side dash. It also occurs randomly and with increasing frequency. It does not appear to hinder functionality, but it can be incredibly distracting. Finally, as others have reported, the rear hatch also randomly shuts itself off and does not respond to prompt to open. Subaru's response to these issues has thus far been the equivalent of a shoulder shrug. |
