Description of the problem	The turbocharger in my 2005 subaru legacy gt has needed replaced multiple times. Each time the car becomes un-drivable and has also cut off while in motion in the middle of the road. The vehicle had this occur in january 2011, august 2012 and now again in october 2012. The car has been serviced regularly and has been driven under normal conditions. Subaru has acknowledged that is defective but has not issued a recall for this safety concern. I am one of quite a few customers reporting the same issue. Despite having the vehicle serviced by subaru each time they have been unable to rectify this recurring hazard. There should be no reason that a vehicle should have an issue of this magnitude or severity at 63000, 68000 and again at 69000 miles. Aside from the expense involved the issue is certainly of great safety concern.

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.
