| Description of the problem | While driving at a rate of speed between 15-35 mph and down-shifting the car shuts off! I lose power-steering and my abs brakes. It has happened while pulling into parking lots and also while going around corners. It seems to occur when the ac is on however i have been told by the dealer (who worked with subaru of america tech line) that it is not an ac problem. My car has been at the dealership for a week and a half. A "reflash" has been sent to the dealers to supposedly correct the problem. Soa states my car is now fixed however they refuse to guarantee me 100% that the problem has been corrected but they insist that it is safe to drive. This is a major safety issue and i am concerned for my life and/or the life of another. No accident to date. |
