In our 2 week old 2019 Forester, we were driving on the freeway at 65mph and felt a sudden jolt and the car shut off: The lights on the dashboard went off, the headlights went off, the turn signals would not work and the accelerator wasn't working. We guided the car off the freeway and sat on the side of the freeway. The dealer's master mechanic cannot find any code that tells them what is wrong so they tell us there is nothing to fix. This is outrageous. This was a life-threatening event so we do not feel safe driving the car for ourselves and other cars on the freeway. Subaru is not taking this seriously. We read there have been other "car stall" problems similar to ours with Foresters from other years.
