Description of the problem	The suburu legacy turbo we bought in june has a major, life-threatening safety issue. We quickly found that on turns with acceleration the power steering fails. Initially our dealer could find no problem. When we demonstrated it to them they kept the car. Unable to find anything they drove another like car from their lot and found the same issue. They told us it must be a normal feature of turbo engines with awd. Even backing onto a parking space, i've had this happen and turning left onto a busy street i have narrowly missed causing an accident several times. It seems our dealer will (kindly) put us into some other car, without the turbo, but before someone is killed we wanted to report the problem. *jb
