Ran out of gas when gauge showed 40 miles left - car locked up on a 70mph freeway - reported to subaru almost a year ago and recently saw where a recall had been initiated but called subaru customer service and they have no idea when this will be resolved even though they have know about it for a year - why is this not a safety issue that the nhtsa is forcing them to fix
