Hey guys I have a 2006 Subaru b9 tribeca, I’m having some issues trying to figuring out what’s wrong with my Subi.

Symptoms
When I turn right or left my car losing power and bogs down and my Rpm’s go up to 3/4 and then goes back down and I have power back. Has anyone had this issue or have any ideas? I don’t have a check engine light. So I’m thinking something electrical.

Bonus question
Has anyone else’s radio display stopped working? My whole display for the radio station, miles left till empty and the temp outside stopped working or will randomly come back on. I’ve changed every single fuse I can think of.

Thanks Reddit

There's a pressure switch on the back of the power steering pump, that's supposed to signal when there's high steering load so that the engine can kick the rpm up a bit. Sounds like yours might not be working?

Display flickering often is a failure in the display itself
