Description of the problem	Subaru has sent a recall for the above vehicle. The recall number is wty-84 / nhtsa id 18v-772 (december 2018). I was told by my local dealer that the next available appointment is in september, 2020. I then called their recall hotline and was told that parts have not yet been sent to dealers, that a second letter will be sent to owners after dealers have received them, and that i could then get in immediately. However, they cannot say when that will be. This is an engine problem that can cause a stall while driving. The letter sent by subaru is clear about this being a potential danger. The dealer only told me that, if the engine stalled, they would pick me up and give me a loaner vehicle. They added that that any stall would happen gradually and i would not be injured. Needless to say (perhaps), my concerns about driving this vehicle are not assuaged. I have been told many different things by subaru, and they don't fit together. Either subaru doesn't know what it's doing, or it is telling its employees to deliberately lie. Subaru is not taking responsibility for a problem that is the fault of the company. I want to get my vehicle repaired. I want to know that i am driving a vehicle that is safe to drive. And i want to be able to trust subaru. None of these things are true at this time. Since subaru is not doing the right thing for its customers, an outside organization must force subaru to do so. I hope that the nhtsa will do just this and force the company to treat this issue with the respect and concern it deserves.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
