| Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems |
Engine shuts down at highway and city speeds unexpectedly. Often difficult to restart. Car has been towed on three occassions to Subaru dealers. Neither of two local authorized Subaru dealers ( casey of newport news va or roughton of norfolk va ) have been able to analyze or repair vehicle. Waited 9 weeks for parts which never arrived from japan which one dealer thought, but would not guarantee, might solve problem. Electrical failures occurred in vehicle o/a may of 1998. I have all maintenance and repair records. Vehicle is so unsafe icannot drive it. I only wish to have vehicle repaired so that safe operation is again possible. Can analyxe or repair vehicle. Engine shutdown witnessed by wife.
