Automatic Stability Control (asc) problem #1

Rear right wheel hit washboard payment with gravel. This produced an axle-hop like motion to the outside, right. The front and left wheels received no power until the hop ended, approx 5-6 seconds. Driver felt that if an unknowing person jerked the steering to left a rollover may well have occurred. 2) before thoughtlessly dismissing this as excessive speed, remember the long delay before the other wheels reacted. Subaru said the reaction was a mille a isecon but, in truth, it was so long that it became dangerous and could produce a wreck. * above remarks pertain to the esc system. 3) no corrective repair.

Suspension problem #2

1) I have replaced the headlight on my vehicle 22 times since purchasing new. 2) low tire light illuminates daily and the car has been serviced numerous times at dealer at my expense and still not repaired. Causing me anxiety to use vehicle even after checking tires for damage, weight and even going as far as replacing car. 3) received recall regarding puddle lights and fire and it took almost 2 years for dealer to finally acquire parts only after threatening to contact local news. 4) in August when slowing with out use of breaks at 20 miles per home the vehicle lunges forward as if the down shift mechanisms not functioning properly, took to dealer yet again to be informed that the breaks were glazed and this took them 4 days to perform repair, then upon picking up vehicle, that they were unable to supply loaner as requested when making appointment was told need another $1,000. 00 repair to the right idle arm assemble that is causing the vehicle to lung, nut not urgent, when I do the next oil change they can perform this repair.
