NHTSA Complaint #11204799 — 2015 SUBARU FORESTER

MY 2015 SUBARU FORESTER ENGINE FAILED 3 TIMES DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. AUG 26, 2018. I WAS IN THE EXPRESS LANES WHEN THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED RESPONDING AND THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATED. I MERGED TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO START IT AND IMMEDIATELY IT TURNED ON. I WAS NOT LOW ON GAS. THEN OCT 9, 2018, I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL ON THE FREEWAY, WITH 20 MILES TO EMPTY WHEN THE ENGINE DID THE SAME THING. I QUICKLY MERGED THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. POLICE SUGGESTED I RAN OUT OF GAS. THE THIRD TIME, FEB 11, 2019, I WAS IN MIDDLE OF 5 LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, DRIVING 75 MPH WITH 70 MILES TO EMPTY WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. IT WAS NIGHT, THE LIGHTS TO THE VEHICLE REMAINED ON. I QUICKLY MERGED RIGHT, BUT THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AS THEY WERE DOING CONSTRUCTION. I CALLED 911. EVERYONE AROUND ME WAS GOING 70-80MPH. I WAS TERRIFIED WE WOULD BE KILLED BY A CAR WHO DIDN'T SEE US AT NIGHT. THE POLICE ARRIVED IN 15 MINUTES AND BUMPED US OFF THE FREEWAY. AAA ARRIVED IN 45 MIN.. RIGHT BEFORE AAA ARRIVED I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN, AS I HAD BEEN DOING ALL ALONG, AND THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP. I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T A FUEL PROBLEM BECAUSE IT STARTED AGAIN WITHOUT NEEDING TO ADD GAS. TWO SUBARU DEALERSHIPS HAVE TRIED TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. NEITHER COULD. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T REPAIR ANYTHING SINCE THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG - DEEMING MY WARRANTY USELESS FOR THIS ISSUE. I TRIED TO GET BUY BACK FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA. THEY WILL NOT DO A BUYBACK BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIR ORDERS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE FEB 11, 2019. IT IS A DANGEROUS CAR. IT WILL FAIL AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY AND WHOEVER IS AROUND IS IN DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PICK UP THE CAR. THE FORESTER HAS 58000 MILES WHEN IT LAST FAILED.
