Consumer Description

This is in reference to tracking # 11462054, a third incident of sudden engine power loss/deceleration. On 04/27/2022 the 2021 Subaru Premium was returned to the selling Subaru dealer to try and fix the two previously reported problems . They found no codes in memory and no problems when road tested. I left the dealer to return home, and about 10 min. after, on a two lane city street, the engine suddenly lost power while I was going about 25mph, and decelerated to about 10mph before regaining power. I drove back to the dealer and a service rep came with me for a road test of several miles, where the car operated normally. At the dealer, there was no code in memory. The mileage was about 13,135. No paperwork was provided by the dealer. How to resolve this problem???
