1.WHILE DRIVING AROUND A SNOWY CORNER ON XXX ROAD, THE VEHICLE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL WHEN ALL OF ITS ANTI-SLIP, ANTI-SWERVE AND ANTI-LOCK SYSTEMS ALL IMMEDIATELY FAILED A SIMULTANEOUSLY. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING SAFETY DEFECTS: 2.WHILE DRIVING ON THE PALISADES PARKWAY ON 8/08/06, UNDER A YEAR FROM ITS PURCHASE, WE HEARD A LOUD BAND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WAS A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF ON THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE OIL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN POURING A THICK WHITE SMOKE THAT I COULDN'T SEE THROUGH, OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ALSO OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. NOT ONLY WAS I UNABLE TO SEE THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THE POTENTIAL FOR AN OIL FIE WAS TREMENDOUS!!!!! THIS IS THE SECOND HAZARDOUS SITUATION THIS VEHICLE PUT ME THROUGH. THERE WAS A BANGING NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH A MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. I PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY STOP AND PULLED INTO THE SOUTH BOUND SUNOCO STATION. UPON STOPPING THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED OIL STREAMING FORM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS ENOUGH OIL TO COMPLETELY COVER THE PAVEMENT UNDER THE VEHICLE, I BELIEVE IT WAS SEVERAL QUARTS. I THEN CONTACTED SUBARU ROADSIDE SERVICE WHO PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN CONTACT JEFFS TOWING SERVICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLES CONDITION. *JB
