2015 Subaru Xv Crosstrek

JANUARY 1ST 2016 DRIVING BACK TO MIAMI FROM NORTH CAROLINA ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE AND NEAR KENDALL/MIAMI AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL ON, NO RED LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONSTRUCTION AREA AT NIGHT, IN THE POURING RAIN STOCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY A PASSING BY STATE FARM ROAD ASSISTANCE TRUCK SAW ME AND CAME TO MY AID PUSHING ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER HOUR AND MANY ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE STARTED AND I CONTINUED DRIVING WITHOUT A PROBLEM. AUGUST 7TH 2016 DRIVING BACK TO MIAMI FROM NORTH CAROLINA ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE JUST SOUTH OF JUPITER FLORIDA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN; WHILE ON THE LEFT LANE THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING, ENGINE STILL ON, NO RED LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD AND SECONDS LATER ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND AFTER DOZENS OF ATTEMPTS AND AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES THE ENGINE STARTED AND I CONTINUED DRIVING WITHOUT A PROBLEM. BOTH INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED AFTER THE VEHICLES HAS BEEN DRIVING 10 PLUS HOURS. I TRAVEL TO NORTH CAROLINA BY MYSELF OFTEN AND THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY SO FAR THAT NO ONE HAS REAR ENDED ME YET BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE I WILL BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME DRIVING AMONG 18 WHEELERS AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FL TURNPIKE AND I-75. I TOOK THE 1ST INCIDENT AS A ONETIME THING BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS NOT; THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT SUBARU OF PEMBROKE PINES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG.

ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE RUNNING. FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE THEN IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED WITH NO ISSUE. A WEEK LATER (AFTER NUMEROUS PROBLEM FREE TRIPS), THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING 35 TO 40 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE. AGAIN IT RESTARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SPUTTER OR GIVE ANY OTHER INDICATION IT WAS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM. FOLLOWING BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, THE NEXT TIME THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND THEN A RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED, THE KEYLESS IGNITION WOULD NOT WORK BUT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE GREEN LIGHT WOULD APPEAR IN THE PUSH START BUTTON AND THE CAR WOULD START. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 20 DAYS. THEY HAVE INDICATED THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO A MECHANIC BUT THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON I-405 NORTH BOUNT WHEN THE ENGINE FALTERED . I KEPT ACCELERATEING BUT THE CAR LOST SPEED AND MADE A HI RAVING SOUND . I WAS REALLY SCARED AS THE CARS BEHIND HAD TO REDUCE SPEED FAST TO PREVENT REAR ENDING ME . I EXITED THE 405 FREEWAY ON BURBANK - I CONTUNED HOME TO NORTH HOLLYWOOD AT A VERY SLOW SPEED , UNDER 10MPH . WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON . IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE . THE NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME DIFFICULTIES .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH TO MAKE A THREE POINT TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. THE CONTACT CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF REVERSE AFTER A LOT OF MANEUVERING. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,287.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 91 THE AIR IN THE CAR WAS ON SO INSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 70 DEGREES. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOOKED BACK AT MY TWO KIDS IN THE BACK THEN AT MY DAUGHTER. GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE. MY SUNROOF JUST IMPLODED. NO TRUCKS WERE PASSING TO THO UP STONES NO OTHER CARS WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS DAMAGE. THERE IS A HUGE HOLE IN THE SUNROOF MIDDLE THE SURROUNDING AREAS ARE SHATTERED AND GLASS IS IN MY SEATS AND COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE CAR FLOOR. I THANK GOD NO ONE WAS HURT GOING THAT FAST ON THE HIGHWAY! I HAVE CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY STATE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND I THEN GOOGLE IT AND SEE THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW OTHERS WHERE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CAUSE THE GLASS TO IMPLODE. I WILL BE CONTACTING SUBARU TO FILE A CLAIM.
