Started to stall out while stopping at lights, parking lots, wry bad when unexpectedly needing to stop. Almost rear ended a few times because my car would stall approaching lights. I finally figured out that I need to put it in nuetral for it not to die. I just found out that Subaru had an extended warranty to 100,000 miles to fix this issue I am at 100,500. They are actually going to fix it. But if I didn't know they would've never fixed it. My concern is the near miss accidents I was almost in on a daily basis. It happens when I brake and come to a complete stop. Lights, stop signs, anywhere I need to stop.

Wife was driving car with newborn son when she came to an abrupt stop because someone slammed on the brakes in front of her so she did and the car stalled and stopped on her nearly avoiding being rear ended. On other occasions she would stop on a hill and the car would shudder and come to a stop and die. This is a very dangerous safety concern for any of these vehicles equipped with this cvt transmission. Especially when Subaru boasts about how this transmission is completely maintenance free for the life of the car what a joke rectify the problem before somebody dies

When coming to a stop, the car shudders and may stall. This is especially problematic if I'm turning left and the car stalls at an intersection. This has occurred on a busy city street in the northern Virginia area. This has happened on multiple occasions.

Takara recall my transmission slips from 5th to 6th gear I have spoken with manufacturer about but because my car is past their extended warranty that did for the issue and did not inform me I found out after the deadline for it Subaru just informed me that if I want it done I have to $5000 dollars to get it replaced because I should have known about the deadline beforehand but could not confirm if a letter got sent out for that VIN number

I bought this care a few years ago and from day one if ever in traffic or on highway and have to stop really quickly, it will cause the car to stall, , I had no idea what was wrong I loved the car and just avoided stoping abruptly, but as I have learned over the years this is impossible, a car must be able to stop, its life or death serious... to many time to count my 2012 Subaru Legacy has stalled, ,, come to find out Subaru is fully aware of this issue and has avoided a recall, ,, thing is I am a father so for years I have been driving a car that has this dangerous defect, , very alarming, ,, so I contacted Subaru directly and because there is not a recall, , they just gave me the run around, , this problem with the torque converter is widely known, ,, this has lead me to filing this report, ,, thing is if Subaru doesn't want to do a recall at least fix the ones that are brought to your attention, to insure public safety, it is just very unfair and honestly very dangerous, ,,, Subaru is aware of this problem with the cvt yet has so far dodged a bullet and honestly I have to, just glad I didn't get in a wreck, ,,, Subaru please make this right

Car will shudder and almost die or will die when coming to a stop. Was told it was the torque convertor. We have the cvt transmission

2012 70,000 miles car began to stall at stops but not all the time. More often at abrupt stops. This happens anywhere at a stop light, stop sign, freeway driving. Extremely dangerous problem. I am being told it is the torque converter air flow (something like that) and can cost $2500 to fix. It appears Subaru has known about this problem since at least 2010 and has not alerted the owners of these vehicles.

My Subaru Legacy has been recently stalling when coming to a stop. It shudders and if you do not give it gas or place in neutral, the engine will die. I have read that this is caused from a faulty torque converter that Subaru is aware of but has failed to issue a recall. I'm not sure I would buy another product that isn't fully backed and supported by the manufacturer.
