Tl the contact owns a 2012 Subaru Outback. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph and releasing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was taken to dewey griffin Subaru (1800 iowa st, bellingham, wa 98229, (360) 734-8700) but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000. The VIN was not available.
The vehicle stalls completely upon slowing down. This occurs frequently at stop signs, lights and while crossing a major road and waiting halfway across to join the flow of traffic. Subaru dealer says it is a defective torque converter but no longer covered by the cvt warranty extension. This is extremely dangerous and should be fixed at no cost to vehicle owner.
Vehicle shudders and stalls when braking hard. It will not stall on a gradual stop but will stall in any situation when stopping quickly. Does not have to be a panic stop to stall, just hard braking. Resulting stall means loss of power brakes and steering. Have to shift into park and restart vehicle. Has no issues when running or driving. Engine runs vey smooth and has been well maintained as I am the original owner. It is an ongoing issue and repeatable in every circumstance. No computer codes set for this issue. Yet it happens every time there is hard braking which is every time it is driven. This is very dangerous and I am afraid to have my wife and son drive it much less myself.
When I be driving, and approaching an intersection, or a stop. My car stalls out. This happens more often, when a do a quick stop. I began,noticing this condition about a few months ago,,approximately January 2020.
Vehicle shakes and shutters when braking at higher speeds before coming to a stop. Stalls out often when approaching stop signs and red lights.
The vehicle stalls and abruptly stops. This is apparently a known problem with this car, but the dealership is demanding $1300 to fix it since I'm out of the warranty period. This should not be just a extended warranty - this is a safety issue: the vehicle stalls in traffic. It cannot be driven in this condition. Today it stalled in the middle of a highway intersection where I was turning. I had a semi truck barrelling down at me on an icy road while I desperately tried to restart the car and get out of the intersection. The semi swerved and barely missed me. These cars should be recalled!.
Tl the contact owns a 2012 Subaru Outback. While the vehicle was idling at a red light or an intersection, it would stall intermittently without warning. When the vehicle was powered off and restarted, it operated normally. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to tacoma Subaru (located at 3838 s tacoma way, tacoma, wa 98409, (253) 473-6200) where it was diagnosed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Stalled when coming to a stop at an intersection. Believe to be transmission issue. Purchased a 2012 Subaru Outback on 8 Jan 2019. The car was sole as is. While driving home, I came up to the busy intersection of russell parkway and moody road (warner robins GA) as I began to slow, the car started to buck then stalled. I was almost rear-ended by the car following me. The car on the same day stalled again while slowing down and turning right on feagan mill road. The car following me swerved to the left to avoid a rear end impact. The car is currently parked until I can get it serviced. After research, I founded out many customers are having the same issues of driving an unsafe vehicle. I currently have 115,000 miles.
Engine shudders, or completely stalls at a sudden brake to stop completely. Driver must put vehicle in neutral or park to re-start the engine. **** the problem described began a year ago. Driver noticed vehicle would shudder occasionally at a complete stop. The first time that the engine completely died, driver thought it may have been due to weather. This shuddering and stalling began occurring more and more frequently in all weather conditions creating a safety hazard. When driver notices the shudder, if the brake pedal is eased up, normal rpms return. The engine will also sometimes shudder during a tight turn as well. While testing during driving/breaking this morning driver maintained a speed of 55 mph for 1 mile. Driver began braking the vehicle at the distance between 2 light poles (on a country road) and came to a complete stop with the vehicle straight forward. Engine died. The 2nd time this was tested, same speed same braking distance, this time the driver was going to make a right turn, so upon braking the vehicle was turned at a 45� angle. The engine died. Warning lights: vehicle dynamics, check engine, awd, charge warning (battery) , and oil pressure. The cd player stayed on, the fan for heat/ac turned off.
Car is stalling when brakes are applied at stops. Engine hesitates when accelerating from a stop.
Vehicle stalls at red lights or stop signs. It also hesitates on acceleration. This is a very dangerous situation when having to restart the vehicle in heavy traffic.
My Subaru Outback (2012) is stalling when I normally or a little harder use the brake. I have to roll in and stop very slowly. Sometimes it's even stall when I'm going out of my driveway in reverse or just starting up at a green light. It's stalling every day for the las 3 weeks. (today is, February 23, 2017).
For almost 1. 5 years, my 2012 Subaru Outback is experiencing shuddering and stalls when coming to a stop resulting in the engine shutting off. It occurs randomly and I nearly got in accidents with drivers behind me having to react to the sudden, full stops.
