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.
Torque converter- stalls when coming to a stop.
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 Subarus 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.
When making a hard break the rpm's will drop so low that the vehicle will begin to shudder and then eventually stall. This I find is dangerous because there have been times where I've been at an intersection and had to hard break and I have to turn my car off and turn it back on before I can move out of the way. There is a recall for my same year 2010 for the Subaru outback manual, I have the cvt transmission so I'm sure they differ but essentially described as the same issue. I notice it more at the beginning of my drives if I drive for over a half hour I don't recall experiencing the issue any longer. It's been progressively getting worse over the last few months. I read online that sound correct to the problem with a reflash some corrected the problem by replacing the torque converter and some a new transmission. I have been putting my car in neutral to keep the rpms from dropping out so low that the car stalls out.
