Engine & cooling

Subaru of america class action law suit hello I own a 2013 subaru tribeca with vin [[redacted]] that has recently lost all the engine oil and no warning light illuminated alerting me the vehicle was low or had no oil.

Perhaps because there were no claims made to date regarding this subaru model. Both occurrences, vehicle stalled on highway at highway speed requiring towing after stall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr
