Engine Stall problems of the 2013 Subaru Crosstrek

My Subaru dealer completed 2 recall items on 7/24/2019 - 8/1/2019 on my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. The engine valve springs and break light switch. After work was completed, on 8/1/2019 I had my bumper replaced from a rear-end accident I experienced on 7/16 (possible break light switch malfunction-- it was the third time I have been rear-ended in this car since purchase). 8/7/2019 I picked up my car from the autobody shop and drove 2 mi. Home and parked with no issue. 8/8/2019 I drove 35 mi. One way to work without incident. . . **returning home, I drove roughly 25-miles at highway speeds of 45-70mph, and 5-miles in light, stop-and-go traffic. 30-miles into my trip at around 5-15mph my car began to shake and vibrate, I continued to drive, traveling slowly, trying to discern if the shaking was coming from my car or from one of my tires. All of a sudden all of my error lights illuminated on my dashboard and my engine lost power and stalled out in the middle of the highway (the lights and stereo were still on). With no other options, I turned off the ignition and was able to restart the engine so I could pull off to the side of the highway. Upon driving, my car continued to shudder and very little power to accelerate. It stalled again with 30 sec. Of driving. I was alone and scared and didn't want to sit on the highway, so I restarted my engine and drove the shoulder to try to reach the dealership (. 5 mi. Away) my car continued to shake, have no power and stalled another three times as drove to reach it. The dealership did a diagnostic blamed the "engine stall-out" I experienced on my bumper replacement, and gave me an estimate of $889. 00 to fix, which is bullshit! this engine stall from the recall repair put me in extreme danger, I was alone and terrified when it happened on the highway, and now I am being ripped off by the company in charge of fixing it. Its not right.

Called el paso, TX Subaru dealership to schedule fix of safety recall wty-84. First time on 1/14/19 and 1/16/19. Told both times someone would get back with me to schedule the recall repair. Called today, 3/7/19 and was told that there is a list, approximately 15 people ahead of me on this list, for the safety recall and that I am not on that list and it could take an additional 1 to 2 weeks to get my vehicle in for the repair and that wasn't a guarantee. I have not taken my vehicle on any long distance trips in fear that the engine may stall and I'd be responsible for an accident. Asked to speak to service manager to address my concerns, but he wasn't in.

Subaru sent out a recall for my vehicle recall # wty-84 in the letter they state that the engine may stall while driving and causing an increased risk of a crash. When I called the local dealership they told me the first appointment they have to resolve this was on Feb 12, 2020. Finding this completely unsatisfactory for a company to expect its customers to drive a car they are telling us is a death trap. I called mail office Subaru to ask what the situation was. They claimed that another dealer in my area was able to schedule for this March/April they also stated that I would be able to rent a vehicle free of charge until my car was repaired if I was not feeling good about driving it. I called the dealership and they told me that was not the case - they have 100 people on their waiting list and no parts are even available let from Subaru to start fixing any cars - and they do not have a program to give any one rental cars while we wait. Even if I now wanted to trade my car I could not as no other company is to buy a car from me that has a recall on it that cannot be fixed for a year and is a death trap.

Slow starting when turning over from stop/park/cold/hot. Excessive oil use after each 3,000 miles. No light warning for low oil displays. Engine bogs or almost stalls when giving gas. Usually when air conditioning is running. This started to occur after I had the valve spring recall taken care of. And all ignition coils replaced. The ignition coils caused excessive stalling downhill to uphill at various speeds yet usually occurred when applying gas from slow to mid-speed when applying gas. My thought were it was due to the recall but evidently had not relation. As per Subaru dealer on maui. Rear wheel bearing repeatedly replace. 3 times in one 1 and a half years. Start with with winding noise then gets worse very quickly. Within 1 to 2 months. Felt /feels very unsafe. Driving at slower speed okay at the range of 45-60 mph noise is very predominate. Thus requiring to drive at slower speeds than required, I bought this car used. In the course of less than 2 years I have had all these issues. All these issues where in the course of between 2018 and 2020.
