Brakes malfunctioned and car spun out and hit deer.
When braking, the car often stalls and all requires a shift into park, and a restart of the entire engine before being able to proceed. When it stalls, steering is also affected. This frequently happens on city streets, but also happens when pulling into parking spaces and when slowing for turning. This has been happening with increasing frequency.
Steering wheel nearly locked - became impossible to turn. Happened while making a very slight right turn at about 5mph from a small side road onto a four lane highway. Was able to continue a very very wide turn to get off the road into a parking lot.
I own a 2012 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle became difficult to keep aligned, causing it to veer from left to right. The contact also stated that when attempting a turn in either direction, the steering wheel would seize and would not return to the default position once the turn was completed in city driving and hwy driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer multiple times for the failure and was test driven by a technician, who stated that there was no failure present within the vehicle.
