The contact owns a 2017 Subaru Legacy. While depressing the brake pedal and coming to a complete stop, the engine shut off without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and it operated normally; however, the failure later occurred several times. The dealer performed diagnostic and fuel testing, which produced a code of p1603 and a good fuel reading; however, the contact was advised to use a different fuel station. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 800.

Car shuts off while breaking. Used to happen when stopped but now happens a few times a day when just trying to break. It almost caused an accident a few times. The car shuts off while in drive, lights flash on the dash, I have to put in park and turn the key off. It starts up fine, but happens again and again. It's been going on for about half a year and is getting worse. No one can seem to find any fail codes or anything.

The engine shutoff while my wife was driving this car in traffic. The resulting problem was a failed crankshaft position sensor. This failure shut the engine off and the car was without power to pull to the side of the road. Had she been making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic, this could have resulted in a major multiple car accident. My question to Subaru (given they like to tout their automobiles' safety record) is why would any engine sensor failure leave the car without power? isn't this the same as the infamous gm ignition switch tragedy? since the sensor was replaced, my wife is afraid to drive the car for understandable reasons.

I was coming to a red light slowing down from 15 mph while applying the breaks, the car acts like something is grabing & it shuts down the motor. The car was not cold it was warmed up & drove about 28 miles before doing this. The skid light came on. It was a dry road. This car has done it several times. I have searched this on the internet & have seen others saying the same thing has happened with their Subaru. Its scary to think this might happen to me on one of our slick roads going off a hill. I have not had it checked out yet do to the holiday season. It does not happen every time I drive it. I have noticed while applying the breaks when it starts feeling like the rotors are grabbing if you ease off just a little and then apply again the car will not shut off it will stay running. I have shut off the skid protection and drove it & still it will do this and the skid light will show up. On the internet it says it could be the icv valve. But im not sure that has anything to do with the skid protection. I bought the car this summer & I had the dealer ship to put new breaks and rotors on it before I bought it. Had no trouble at all with this untill last month. I just had the oil and filter changed this week. There are no service lights staying lit. & it still does this. I will be getting this checked out. A guy mentioned that it could be the transmition. This car is an automatic & does have the manual transmission shifters on the steering wheel. The car was in the automatic mode when this happened it is not drove in the manual side. Im thinking I should try driving in the manual side to see if it will do this. Ive had no complaints with any of my other Subarus weve owned. I have never had this problem with them. However I have never owned one with the skid protection or in the 2000 model until this one.
