Example complaints

“Rear right wheel hit washboard payment with gravel. This produced an axle-hop like motion to the outside, right. The front and left wheels received no power until the hop ended, approx 5-6 seconds. Driver felt that if an unknowing person jerked the steering to left a rollover may well have occurred. 2) before thoughtlessly dismissing this as excessive speed, remember the long delay before the other wheels reacted. Subaru said the reaction was a mille a isecon but, in truth, it was so long that it became dangerous and could produce a wreck. **the above remarks pertain to the ESC system. …”
