I have a total of electrical power lost for 7 times. 2 times while driving I experience all electrical lost while driving on the highway. I was able to pull over to the side and was able to jump started the car with a jumper battery 5 minutes later. Other 5 times it happened when I try to start the car and I did not get any electrical power at all. I took the car to the dealer twice and they change/fix the car ground the first time that I lost electrical power. Then they change the battery after 5 electrical power failures. I am about to bring it in for the 7th time for them to look at it. I am totally lost confident and no longer feel comfortable or feel safe driving my two boys on this car.

Cannot turn off distraction of a noisy stereo while gear selector is in reverse. I believe this is an intentional design feature that always happens.

I was merging on I-95 at 4pm and it was raining, I was accelerating into the traffic pattern in the right lane when suddenly the accelerator would not respond, the car panel went black,no lights or info showed. I coasted off to the side of the road,the car was in drive,ignition on. The emergency light wouldn't go on, nor the bluetooth or sos call line. I shut the car down and into park and waited a couple of minutes and restarted the engine without a problem. If I had been in the middle lane or no where to pull off it would have been catastrophic . I took it to the subaru dealer the next day and they couldn't find a problem. Told me it was probably a glitch, you can't afford to have a glitch at 70 MPH. I no longer feel safe in this car, especially when I have my grandkids in the car.
