Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SHAKES AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE STREET THE RPMS AND POWER WILL SUDDENLY DROP AND WHEN I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR THE RPM REVS UP TO A 5 OR 6 BUT WITH LITTLE POWER AND THE ENGINE SHAKES FOR THE VEHICLE TO EVEN START MOVING FORWARD. THERE APPEARS TO BE SLIPPAGE AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER, BUT PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF IT WILL COMPLETELY STOP ON THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE I'M OVER MY WARRANTY BY 24K MILES THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. SO SUBARU WILL ONLY WARRANTY THEIR CARS FOR A MAX OF 100K? THIS IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR SERVICE, NOT TO MENTION PUTTING DRIVERS LIVES IN HAZARD.
