problem #1

Impreza 4WD

  • miles
Engine shuts down at highway and city speeds unexpectedly. Often difficult to restart. Car has been towed on three occassions to Subaru dealers. Neither of two local authorized Subaru dealers ( casey of newport news va or roughton of Norfolk va ) have been able to analyze or repair vehicle. Waited 9 weeks for parts which never arrived from Japan which one dealer thought, but would not guarantee, might solve problem. Electrical failures occurred in vehicle O/a may of 1998. I have all maintenance and repair records. Vehicle is so unsafe icannot drive it. I only wish to have vehicle repaired so that safe operation is again possible. Can analyxe or repair vehicle. Engine shutdown witnessed by wife.
