Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2018 Subaru Outback

I was driving through an intersection when the engine stalled with 1/8th of a tank of gas remaining. Gas light came on only a few miles prior. Luckily I was able to coast into a gas station. Car started after turning off and back on. Only took 16. 9 gallons to top off. This is the second time this has happened. The previous time the miles to empty was showing 50 when it stalled. I was told by the dealership that there is no fix for the current recall.

30 miles left as indicated on fuel tank, car engine shut down while driving on road and came to a complete stop in left side of highway, my family were passengers in my car and this could have been a fatal situation. A good samaritan helped us move our car over to side of road out of harms way. I am very disappointed in Subaru and do not trust that it has the best �safety� features if it is this inaccurate in informing me of mileage! I can't help but think what worse outcome could have happened to my family. Thank god we are all ok. Do better Subaru, for the lives of your customers driving your vehicles and the safety of the general public.

** 2018 Subaru Outback ** this has happened three times** driving car when car shuts off complete loss of power engine turns off without warning at various speeds - seems to occur when the low fuel warning system turns on at 1/4 tank of gas. This 3rd time almost got me killed traveling at 45mpg when it happened today inside a major intersection. Software / sensor for the low fuel system? something is very seriously wrong. 1. Is this car safe to drive with a full tank of gas? 2. Has there been other complaints about this exact problem? 3. Is there a recall or fix ?.

Number of miles showed 40 until gas was needed- 8 miles later was completely out of gas on major highway- contacted Subaru service where car was purchased and asked if there were any issues with this, he said yes-- he actually said the same exact scenario-- where said 40, and approx. 8 miles later completely out of gas- he told me that they had fuel engineers look at the car that was brought in and said the only way to get good information is to re-set trip a and re-set trip b after you fill your tank-- so it can calibrate. I had never heard of this before- they should communicate this to their customers to avoid this huge safety risk. Police were called to us broken down on freeway to alert traffic we were sitting on shoulder- very unsafe area to "run out of gas"- Subaru should get this glitch fixed-- and most importantly, communicate to people that this is a known problem. I have also contacted Subaru America to let them know and I have opened a case. They will call me back no later than Wednesday, oct 10th, 2018 with an update. I also wanted this to be brought to ntsb attention since Subaru sounded like they knew about it, but didn't even tell us when we purchased the car. Car has roughly 4k miles on it.

Fuel software programming defect - fuel warning light does not illuminate nor read properly below 50 miles. I had 30 miles left in the tank, parked the car and after work (approx. 8 hours) I went to start the car and it would not start. Had to utilize roadside assistance - thank goodness this didn't happen while the vehicle was in motion or on the highway. This is unacceptable. Brand new car runs worse than my 1988 Honda crx.

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Subaru Outback. While the contact's wife was driving 50 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was towed to mccurley integrity Subaru (located at 9620 sandifur pkwy, pasco, wa 99301, (509) 412-7100) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle ran out of fuel. The contact was informed that when the fuel gauge displayed 20 miles to empty, the fuel tank was actually empty. The contact was informed that the fuel gauge was defective and the manufacturer was working on a remedy. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000. The VIN was not available.

Driving the car on i95 at 60 m/h with the gas indicator displaying 30 miles range, and a 1/8 tank left, the car get to a lower gear and the stall. The engine get a complete stop, but I managed to get to the right shoulder with no harm.

Open recall for fuel gauge not being accurate. I alreay ran out of gas once and when I took the car to dealer they said there was no remedy to make sure I always have a 1/4 of a tank of gas to avoid this in the future! this happened to me on July 13, and I have bee waiting since for solution.

My gas light went on and the monitor said I had 60 miles left. Within a couple blocks it went to 50 then 40 then 20 and was out of gas. It still said I had 20 miles left when the car was in the left lane of a road and completely wouldn't start. I was just going straight on a city road. People were honking at me and I was scared someone would hit me. This has never happened to me before. Then some people helped me get it across the 2 lanes and onto the side. I locked it and went for gas. When I came back. The car would not unlock with the keyless entery. I had to take out the hidden key and open it. And then when I put gas in it. It started no problem. I went to fill up and it filled up at 17 gallons. So it still had more then 2 gallons when it ran out. I brought it to Subaru, they looked it over for a few days. Called there specialists but said they don't know what happened and I should just try to keep the gas tank at full and it shouldn't happen again. I feel for a 2018 new car this is scary.

I was driving my child to school on a rainy morning in traffic,20-30mph on a straight road. The car stalled and then the engine shut off. (I am lucky I did not get rear ended; otherwise I would be in the hospital getting my child checked out. ) rolled over to the side of the road; as close as I could get. . Shifted into park and restarted the car. Started right up. I had a quarter tank of gas and drove three miles after that and still have enough to get to a gas station; so it is not a fuel supply issue. This is not safe!!! this is not acceptable!!!! this is a new car purchased three months ago!!! called the dealer's service rep and asked if this could be part of the issue I am having with fuel economy. I am averaging 16. 1 mpg. My 2007 Mercury millan premier awd averaged around 22. 8mpg: 10 years older and larger engine (3. 0 vs 2. 5). I also let him know that at low speeds the car is fighting as if in the wrong gear and low torque. Also there is not a smooth coast, it is almost as if the car is braking by being in the wrong gear. I have had a Toyota, Dodge, Ford, Mercury, Honda, and Hyundai in the family and never had problems like this. This is not safe!!! this is not acceptable!!!! this is a new car purchased three months ago!!! I also asked him if this has something to do with the head unit which is riddled with problems. How did Subaru let a car like this off the line? I now fear using this car. I do not want to be in a fatal accident and I do not want to introduce fatal risks to my family. I am told that if the problem can not be reproduced at the dealer, there is nothing they can do. Translation: can't find the problem, can't fix the problem, I am stuck with a death trap.
