I-€™m having an issue with my vehicle stalling when I brake and when I come to a stop slowly or on an incline. I haven-€™t had it tested at a dealership but I have read about the issue among other Subaru owners stating it is possible the torque converter in the CVT and that Subaru isn-€™t recalling it. I see this as a major safety concern for myself and others on the road due to its stalling out at a stop or on an incline.

The CVT Transmission has a known problem where the torque converter causes stalling. This issue is well documented on Subaru forums. I took my vehicle to Subaru about the problem and they said the fix for the stalling is to replace the Torque Converter., It is not yet covered for a recall despite being such a large issue with these vehicles.

Three identical instances. 1. Was driving down road came to stop light pushed brakes and car stalled out. 2. Was approaching roundabout pushed brakes to wait for traffic and car stalled out. 3. Was on incline at stop pressing brakes, went to push gas and car stalled out. In each instance the car dies completely. You have to take key out, put back in and turn on the vehicle again.

Subaru refuses to do a recall for their CVT transmission issue even though this is a know issue with the 2010-2012 Legacy. The car stalls when coming to a stop. Subaru never informed their owners of an issue and now refuse to pay for any repairs, if this was to become a recall then they would be required to pay for the repairs, and then there would be less unsafe vehicles on the road

Vehicle stutters and frequently stalls when coming to a stop. The more aggressive the braking, the likeliness of stalling becomes higher. The vehicle needs to be put into neutral to be restarted. This also occurs more frequently in colder temperatures. The older the vehicle the more obvious the issue becomes. Currently 99500 on a 2010 Legacy. The dealership has confirmed that the converter needs to be replaced, but Subaru usa is unwilling to offer support due to the vehicle being outside the 'extended warranty'. the information originally disclosed by Subaru did not say that the vehicle may stall. This has now become a major safety concern which could leave individuals severely injured or dead if this were to occur at an unfortunate moment. Dealership estimated the repairs at about $3,028 plus tax.

While crossing a busy street I was forced to brake hard and quickly because the car ahead of me suddenly stopped. My Subaru's engine then stalled. I was almost hit from both the rear end and from the side because I couldn't start my car fast enough. The dealership indicates that this is due to a bad torque converter on the cvt transmission. This is a known issue with the 2010 Legacy, but they will not and the NHTSA won't force them to do a recall. However, my car is 16,000 miles outside the extended warranty they established when they found out about the problem. They indicated that I could have resolved this issue by July 2018 at no cost. However, since that date has past I'm out of luck and must pay for it out of pocket. Also, the car did not have any of these problems then, so they wouldn't have done preventative maintenance for it anyway. Therefore, I must now drive around a car that stalls whenever I brake. I am going to get in an accident. I just hope I don't die.

Stopping vehicle quickly and engine shudders and stalls at any speed. My car has 120K miles and has been doing this since just under 100K miles

I put my foot on the brake at an intersection (came to a hard stop) after deceleration and the engine hesitated, then stalled/stopped completely. I must put the car in park and restart the engine to remedy the stall. This has occurred 4 times in the last week. In two situations, the vehicle behind me had started to accelerate, but my vehicle was not in motion because I must put the car in '(P)ark' to restart the car. This is a safety hazard because the car stops so abruptly.

- Desoto, TX, USA

Per service bulletin # 16-90-13, the car will stall when coming to an abrupt stop. Part of the time, the vehicle will stall when coming to a normal stop as well. This happened once while city driving when a light went from red to green as we were approaching. We were down to under 5 mph and went to accelerate again to continue with the flow of traffic. Before I could release the brake, the car stalled and almost caused us to get rear ended. So that along with the inconvenience and danger of dying at stops will push us into performing this costly repair asap. The stalling can occur sometimes at every stop, and sometimes it will not happen for multiple stops. The torque converter is a known issue, and is to be replaced with a more updated model with different internal components. I contacted Subaru and they informed me I was outside of my warranty so it was completely up to me.

- Esko, MN, USA

The problem is with the torque converter failing and the dealership wants me to pay $2,100 which I'm not doing and it's an ongoing problem with Subaru with cvt transmissions which makes its stall when pressing on the brake when it happens to me every single day now ever since the dealership looked at it last.
