## Narrative
The engine stalled/locked and clipped an 18 wheeler trying to get to the shoulder of I-294.  I have been taking the 2014 Subaru to Countryside Subaru since April 14, 2021 with issues of lights coming on on the dashboard. It caused a serious accident.  The car was totaled by the insurance company.  Subaru had me call Subaru Advocacy who had just agreed to pay $3,500 towards a new engine, with me paying $1,500 because it was out of warranty, even though the issue started when the car was under warranty over a year ago.  Lights were constantly coming on every 4 to 6 weeks. A service advisor, told us the car was safe to drive.  It wasn't. The same day service advisor ordered the parts (June 6, 2022) is the same day the accident happen. I thank God my daughter is still among the living. This should not have happen.  LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY.
