Then engine exploded going up a hill, stranding us for 2. 5 hours on the freeway. Engine replaced under warranty (which expired while in shop for two months). No warranty on new motor.

The car has stalled 3 times while driving. At a stop sign, red light and at a stop sign. The incident at the traffic light caused the vehicle to start rolling backwards and almost hit into another vehicle. Subaru can not find the problem but acknowledges the incidents of stalling. The car is not safe to drive and was purchased in the later half of April 2018.
