1. Propulsion, acceleration, brakes, transmission- no longer available for inspection 2. The vehicle went completely out of control; I stood on the brakes as hard as I could but would not stop or slow the car at all. We careened down a hill and head on into a large tree 3. not reproduced or confirmed 4. Vehicle was inspected by insurance company and was declared a total loss 5. no signs of any malfunction prior to wreck
P0420 code o2 sensors. I had this problem back in 2017. Cruise, skid control, brake light and check engine light come on. Subaru said it was the catalytic converter, 02 sensors and associated piping. Subaru replaced it for free in 2017. Not even 2 years later 8/2019, I am dealing with the same issue again. Same diagnoses. I have seen a multitude of complaints about this issue. Saw a report of a recall for the front 02 sensor on repairpal but it is not listed on subaru's website.
