Description of the problem	While driving on 1-95 the car the vehicle suddenly shut off, causing a very unsafe situation as the steering and brake pedal got very stiff and the vehicle was hard to control properly. The vehicle had to be towed home, and after taking the vehicle to the dealership, i was informed it had a engine knock and would need a new short block replacement. I have come to learn that this is a very common fault with these vehicles and both the dealership and subaru of america refuses to honor the warranty or accept responsibility for a faulty and dangerous product.
