While exiting off highway, the can unexpectedly shut off nearly causing a wreck. Car would not restart. The entertainment screen remained working the entire time. The instrument cluster went black and remained this way. Automatic windows, entertainment screen, radio all worked but car would not start. A similar issue had happened two weeks ago but we were not driving. . . The car would not start and a master Subaru tech looked at car and they said nothing was wrong with it. . Obviously they were wrong. Very disappointed in Subaru. This is a very dangerous issue.
