Description of the problem	This type of incident happened twice. Making a left hand turn, pulling onto main two-way road, the dash lights flashed on, car jerked and then stalled. This was a very dangerous situation as 50 mph cars and trucks were coming in both directions at us - with two small children in the car, screaming their heads off. I managed to turn it off and restart and pull over, got vehicle towed. Curry subaru computer couldn't come up with anything. Same incident happened 02/17/2011, making a left onto a main road. My daughter thought we were going to be killed, the car dash lights flashed and car died. I managed to restart and jerk forward. This car is a death-trap. My online research shows others with same exact situation. I brought car to my dealer - bill kolb - with no satisfaction. Car revvs forward at times during normal driving. Siting many on line complaints, subaru must be well aware of the danger this situation presents, i cannot operate this car - my children are terrified after two incidents of near collisions.
