| Description of the problem | I was driving north on highland avenue, just after 7 am, thursday, july 11, when suddenly the vehicle lost acceleration, the rpms went low, and the vehicle died. No warning lights or indications of a problem before the event. This left me stranded between 35th and 31st street during the busy rush hour period. Unable to restart. Tow into the dealer. Fuel pump failure was determined to be the cause. This was alarming from a safety standpoint because without warning the vehicle stopped operating, leaving me stuck in rush hour traffic having to signal approaching drivers to avoid my stalled car. It would have been worse if the event happened in the middle of a busy intersection. What's more, with a little over 63000 miles on the vehicle, the pump failure occurred long before the vehicles expected operational life. I view this pump failure incident as a serious subaru product manufacturing defect capable of endangering the lives of drivers, passengers and fellow travelers on our streets and highways. |
