Car Stall problems of the 2010 Subaru Outback

My vehicle stalls when I slow down for a stop sign or traffic light. It's been occurring for months.

Major safety issue - vehicle has started stalling when coming to a stop or starting to turn. This has almost caused several accidents turning out onto the highway. Subaru issued a recall, but my car is not covered due to mileage, which is problematic.

Major safety issue - vehicle has started stalling when coming to a stop or slowing down while starting to turn. This has almost caused several accidents for my wife turning out onto the highway. I was told by a Subaru mechanic that Subaru issued a recall, but I can't find it. This has been going on for about 2 months now.

The cvt transmission is not operating properly. The car stalls just prior to coming to a stop. This is very dangerous in traffic. This is a know problem by Subaru to the point that they issued an extended warranty. The problem is that it is very difficult to find any Subaru dealer who will properly diagnose the problem to allow for warranty coverage. This should be a recall given the number of vehicles reporting this problem and the unsafe condition that is created.

When coming to a stop on any road the vehicle stalls, uphill or downhill. The car then needs to be restarted after putting the vehicle in park then turning the key to restart, as vehicles are coming quickly from behind. This could be a potentially deadly vehicle failure and needs to be addressed and recalled. It started about a week ago and continues to happen.

During braking, the car often shutters as if it is going to stall, and several times has stalled completely when coming to a stop. This occurs especially if braking hard. This occurs only when the car is in motion and being brought to a stop. However, when idling, the car often will shudder as well.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Subaru Outback. While driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart and drive normally, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact called heritage Subaru catonsville at (844) 224-1954 (located at 6624 baltimore national pike, catonsville, MD 21228) and was informed to schedule a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 129,204.

Occasionally the 2. 5 l engine with cvt will appear to almost stall upon decelerating and coming to a stop (at a traffic light, stop sign, etc. ). The engine will shudder, the rpms will drop below 700 and then quickly return to normal idle (about 800 or so). Have not yet experienced a stall but have come close. Our car has about 87000 miles and is otherwise in good condition. Our mechanic has been unable to diagnose the problem because this is an intermittent issue, it cannot be duplicated and there are no codes. Other similar posts have indicated that the torque convertor may be the culprit. Considering the quantity of posts, an investigation should be undertaken. Stalling can be a safety problem.

Car stalls on the road when you come to a sudden stop. This problem is concerning the torque converter and this is a hazardous problem and should be considered a recall for these type of model cars.

Car feels like it's going to stall out at a stop. This been occurring now for a year. The problem is getting worse. When to Subaru, and, because it didn't happen when they were driving the car, the didn't do anything. My mechanic says he is seeing this problem a lot with this car, and it's a torque convertor issue. It's scary and potentially dangerous.

The contact owns a 2010 Subaru Outback. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to be repaired at the dealer. The spark plugs were replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.

Driving and coming to a stop. At stop and engine idling, the engine misfires (stumbles) on occasion. It feels as though the engine will die, but then idles normally. This is intermittent and no engine light or fault code comes up. Dealer unable to correct because this has not happened when the car is taken in for service. I am afraid the car will stall in traffic. This has occurred over the last 3-4 years.

2010 Subaru Outback 2. 5l cvt automatic 126,000 miles. Car will unexpectedly shudder then engine will quit at low rpms either coming to a stop or upon initial acceleration from a stop. Symptoms mimic a manual transmission clutch slipping/stalling. Engine operating temperature has no effect, nor vehicle turning, or varying electrical loads. This is an extremely dangerous situation as it can happen when pulling out into traffic or in heavy traffic (for example) and it happens repeatedly, unexpectedly and randomly. I urge the NHTSA in the strongest possible terms to issue mandatory recall and repair order as soon as possible to prevent loss of life and serious injury. I am aware of multiple complaints of this problem. Subaru has issued TSB 16-90-13 which addresses faulty part replacement in transmission torque converter with a newly redesigned part. However, to my knowledge, owners are not being notified of this serious safety situation, nor is suburu replacing the part free of charge if the drivetrain warranty has expired. I have been quoted $1200-$ 2000 dollars for repairs by Subaru. It is my concern that since the problem is intermittent and expensive to repair, even if the owners are notified by a voluntary TSB, they may not go to the expense to have it repaired, resulting in potential loss of life and injuries. This needs to be a mandatory recall. As an aside, I am an airline captain and a faa certified maintenance technician with over 40 years of experience in maintenance related safety issues, and it is my opinion that this situation requires urgent action on behalf of NHTSA and Subaru. Thank you.

We bought our car in 2010 its a Subaru Outback. There has always been an issue with a loss of power. The dealership at the time said it was caused by excessive carbon build up on the pistons. Its now 2016 and the car will stutter and shut off when you are braking at red lights. To try to beat the stutter and stall, I find myself having to ease off the brakes and try to reapply my brakes to see if it won't shut off. I've avoid many accidents but one of these days I won't be so lucky. I feel a rear end accident is coming. This stutter and stall happens any time during the day and in any weather. This morning there was no issue, this afternoon there might be. Usually once the car stutters and stalls the problem goes away for the day. I read some other complaints on nhsta and they are reporting their similar issue as it being a possible torque converter problem. I'm not sure either way since my mileage puts me over the warranty and I don't want an accident to deal with I would like to see what are options to getting this problem taken care since its been doing this since 2010.

Cvt transmission. The vehicle predictably stalls while in motion approaching a stop on city streets or on the highway. Electric system remains operational during and after stalling indicating that the issue is unrelated to electrical system. Mechanic believes issue to be now-known and widespread faulty torque converter. Vehicle stalling in traffic has become very dangerous and has nearly caused several accidents.

Car stalls unexpectedly when stopping/stopped. Random occurrences. Gas tank can be full or low, does not seem to matter. Idle may be a bit rough right before it quits running. Occurs when a/c is on or off. Have taken to dealer for service/evaluation, cannot find anything wrong with it. Car has started immediately after occurrence ## VIN passed ## 2010 Subaru Outback ##.

Car stalls after stopping at a stop sign and has to be restarted.

We bought a 2010 Subaru Outback with manual transmission in July 2010. It has stalled twice (once in September and once in October) while driving about 25 mph with the clutch depressed and making a lefthand turn into oncoming traffic. In both instances of stalling, there was a slight incline in the hill. Since I was turning into oncoming traffic this was a very dangerous situation. The car started up immediately after I pulled to side of road. I am bringing in this car for service this upcoming week. The Subaru dealer I just spoke with said that they have had to service multiple cars with this stalling issue for the 2010 model. This issue is extremely dangerous and Subaru needs to provide a comprehensive fix before people are hurt or die--perhaps some people have been hurt already?.

2010 Subaru Outback stalling and choking off. Dealer unable to duplicate at this time. Car put in shop 2x so far with no solution. Car stalled or cut off 2 to 3 times a day. No trend. We feel very unsafe driving this car. The dealer loaned us a 2010 Subaru Outback, and this car has the same problem. The car we own is approx. 4/5 months old with approx. 13000 miles on car. The loaner we have has 3500 miles on car at this time. We don't feel this is related to just our car being the loaner we are driving has the same problem.

The contact owns a 2010 Subaru Outback. While driving approximately 10 mph the vehicle stalled and all of the lights on the dashboard illuminated. Upon restart the vehicle operated as normal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. This failure occurred approximately seven times in the past which the authorized dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 14,011. The VIN was unavailable.

My 2010 Subaru Outback with a 6 speed manual transmission has stalled on my multiple times. It has always been within the first few minutes of the car running. It has stalled backing up out of a parking spot, approaching a traffic light or spot sign, slowing down to make both a right and a left hand turn, and it has also stalled going about 35mph driving down the street. Every time it has stalled the a/c was on.

2010 Subaru Outback 2. 5i automatic with 1,900 miles stalls when coming to a full stop. The power right off the line also flutters.

2010 Subaru Outback, 6 speed manual transmission. The car has stalled approximately 6 times while stopping at a stop sign with both clutch and brake pressed to ground. Notified dealer. Dealer looked at car and said they could not replicate issue and did not know what was wrong with it. Suggested I was doing something wrong to make it stall.

Vehicle has repeatedly stalled during deceleration once clutch is depressed or taken out of gear. Other times it will rev down to about 400 rpm and then catch itself prior to stalling, but momentarily removing all power assists. Has been to dealer once, problem was duplicated and ecm was reprogrammed, problem has been better since, but not resolved.

The contact owns a 2010 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that when the vehicle was pulled out of the driveway, it began to shake and then stalled. Other than the shaking, there was no prior warning. The dealer replaced the transmission but the failure continued. The contact believed the problem to be related to the air conditioning system. The failure mileage was 10 and the current mileage was approximately 12,000.
