general problems of the 2011 Subaru Legacy

Changed out the timing belt as part of recommend service by Subaru only to learn that the head gaskets were leaking and it's a known problem with all Subarus built before 2013. Subaru is aware of the problem, and has created a conditioner that is added to the cooling system as a "band aid. ".

The engine turning off unexpectedly when I am driving. Especially when I go to slow down. This has been an issue since I bought the vehicle. From day one.

For the past 2 months my Subaru Legacy has been stalling and losing power when I roll to a stop and/or when suddenly braking. Almost got rear ended by semi truck on the freeway and multiple times at stop lights in foggy situations. Subaru dealership said if it was an annoyance I should bring it in. Almost dying in a Subaru with my daughters is more than an annoyance. Dealership has known about it but performed a throttle body service, which was futile. Online forums suggest a faulty torque coverter and a service#16-90-30. Qutoes for replacing it are around $2000. Subaru knows it is due to faulty design of torque converter. . . This should be recalled. I used to luve Subarus and this car, I am now forced to take a loss financially and buy a safer car. Completely unsafe.

New car, would lose power while driving in traffic ,up hills and trying to change lanes. In the shop 8 times since new. Service stated they could not find a problem. Did replace air compressor,so there was some problem. Talked to Subaru customer service, they had it tossed around for 3 months,then decided they would mark it as a complaint. They offered no help with any type of solution,have heard this about Subaru from other owners. Received letter from Subaru with a1500. 00 cash loyalty reward if I bought another one. Not possible as they were never loyal to me. Ralph nader should look at this as I feel it was unsafe at any speed. Traded it in on a new camry. Subaru cost me a lot of money just to get rid of a car that I feel is in the same league as the corvair.
