Forester

  • 1,500 miles
The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Forester. While turning the vehicle, the entire electrical system shut off, including the power steering and emergency braking system. The contact was almost involved in a crash due to the failure. The contact pulled over, shut off the engine, and restarted the vehicle, but the electrical failures remained. The vehicle was slowly driven back to the contact's home. St. cloud Subaru (141 park ave S, St cloud, mn 56301) stated that water may have contacted the wiring under the hood and caused the malfunction. The contact was working on having the vehicle towed and receiving a loaner vehicle from the dealer. The manufacturer was notified via email. The failure mileage was 1,500.
