Engine Stall problems of the 2010 Subaru Legacy

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.

The contact owns a 2010 Subaru Legacy. While driving approximately 35 mph, the contact came to an abrupt stop and the engine stalled without warning. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (brunswick Subaru 2992 center rd, brunswick, OH, 44212) where it was diagnosed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. The failure mileage was 136,000. The VIN was unavailable.

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.

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.

Engine has stalled (completely shut down) 5 times at low rpm, leaving all systems off, including power steering. Conditions of each stall: low rpm, vehicle decelerating, clutch engaged, shifter in neutral, hot ambient air temperature, air conditioner on. More prevalent (4 out of 5 occurrences) when engine is cold (within minutes of starting). Engine restarts normally. This is a safety concern, as the stalls have occurred twice while performing a turn across oncoming traffic.

Start car , engine cold, or at least not fully warmed up. While driving, push clutch in , take foot off gas to shift. Engine revs drop to near zero. Engine stalls. Its intermittent. But some anecdotal evidence that hot weather exaggerates the issue. Seems to happen less when engine is fully warmed up. Dealer has recreated the problem, but said they can do nothing about fixing it. This car has died in intersections twice and also on open road in traffic.
