Engine will abruptly stall due to low idle when coming to a stop or starting from a stop. Additionally, when starting from a stop, vehicle will shudder and lose power as if the transmission is not shifting. Dtc codes 2762, 2764, and 0700 are present indicating a problem with the unlocking of the torque converter. Vehicle has 152,000 miles. This is a serious safety issue when the car stalls unexpectedly in traffic. It is a known issue to Subaru, and it is only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed because of this manufacturing defect. A recall needs to be issued!

Transmission failed - loss of power while driving

When traveling with cruise set car has stalled/stuttered. It also has an extreme stall/stutter when coming up to a stop or taking off from a stop. This has been a safety concern due to drivers around me needing to react to the sudden change of speed.

- Superior, WI, USA

While slowing down the car starts to shutter then stalls out when my speed is under 15 mph. I believe it's the torque clutch converter. I have to restart car in traffic. This happens every time I slow down weather its at a stop light or just turning.

- Roanoke, VA, USA

Stalled at highway speed causing very dangerous situation. Check engine light and brake light, stability control light and at temperature lights flashing. Read so many known issues of this happening to others. We are under the 10 years but slightly over the 100,000 miles. I would think they would be willing to fix the issue at no charge. I am the original owner of vehicle. Engine had to be replaced 4years ago. That was covered under the extended warranty that we had purchased. I would like to say good things about Subaru, but will be unable to do so if they don't fix this issue at N/C. transmission problem probably

Was driving my Outback in interstate traffic going the speed limit. Accelerated slightly to go up a hill and the car "lost power". wouldn't accelerate. Speed dropped fast and I had to quickly pull over to keep from being "run over" by vehicles behind

- Hampshire, TN, USA

My vehicle will stall and turn off when coming to a stop. This has happened many times while on the city streets and when on the highway once during traffic. This could of been a deadly situation. The car also stalls and slips gears when going from 1st gear to 2nd causing a jerking motion like an manual transmission would do.

- Woodland, CA, USA

Under sudden breaking vehicle stalls. Engine stops and has to be restarted. This has happened at stop lights or in intersections if another vehicle in front stops suddenly. Have had this diagnosed as a faulty torque converter. This could be very dangerous if the car needs to get out of the way and is stalled! Subaru has known about this for years yet does not consider it a safety issue. I understand this has to do with their cvt transmission. A recall should be issued.

- Scottsdale, AZ, USA

Vehicle stalls when coming to a rapid stop. The RPM plumets during the stopping action and does not recover in time, therefore causing the engine to stall. The vehicle does not have to be traveling particularly fast either. 15mph or above will cause this to happen. It does not occur all the time, but the frequency does increase over time. It is believed that this is a problem with the cvt torque converter.

- Kansas City, MO, USA

A few weeks ago, my car started stalling out at low speeds while trying to accelerate. The car loses power and forward momentum and then catches up again. Starting from a stop light and entering an intersection, the car lurches unexpectedly, causing a disruption in forward momentum-- which is very alarming for me and the cars behind me. I took it to the Subaru dealership for service and was told it needed a valve body replacement for the cvt. I asked specifically if the codes that came back said it needed a valve body replacement and was told, yes.

- Yarmouth, ME, USA

Stationary, started car and went to put in reverse gear (manual transmission) only to have it grind and pop out. Unable to put in reverse, now the other gears have been affected by a damaged reverse synchro breaking up. Earlier model year 2011 Outbacks were part of a transmission (manual 6 speed) recall failure for lack of lubrication- this is a later in the year model so not covered under other recall.

- Longmont, CO, USA

Car stalls at low speeds, all lights are flashing, code reads transmission control system and torque converter failing, when coming to a stop it stalls out which is dangerous for my wife and kids

- Tracy, CA, USA

Vehicle stalls when coming to a stop due to faulty torque converter.

- Thornton, CO, USA

The car is stalling out when in motion and coming to a stop. When braking to come to a stop, at stoplights, stop signs, or anywhere you need to stop, the car turns off. To start the car back up again, you have to put the car in park, turn it back on, then shift to drive. I am concerned for the safety of my family as this is our family auto.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

The contact owns a 2011 Subaru Outback. After the vehicle came to a stop, the engine began to shutter and the vehicle stalled. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. Harley swain Subaru (1915 N 1st St, herminston, or) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 142,000.

- Kennewick, WA, USA

My 2011 Subaru Outback stalls when I attempt to reduce speed at intersections. The problem is related to a manufacturing defect which requires repairs to torque converter and valve. My car was purchased used in 2017 with 94,000 miles, and started demonstrating shuddering and occasional stalling within weeks of purchase. I took the vehicle in for service in December 2018 and was told the problem was related to a known issue with that make and model, but 'unfortunately the extended warranty we issued has expired and we can't do anything.' I never received notice of the extended warranty and believe I was sold a lemon, which I'll take up with the dealership. Soa corporate acknowledged the nature of my car problem as being a manufacturing defect, but in an email response to my petition for a goodwill repair, I was told again 'unfortunately because the extended warranty expired we can't help you'. so soa knows it made cars with faulty transmissions but expects the unknowing consumer to pay for it or else be out of a car?

The vehicle begins moving from a stop on city streets and then it quickly hesitates one or more times before staying in gear. This reduces consistent forward motion, increasing the risk of rear end or other crashes. The 2nd day warning lights flashed continuously on the instrument panel. This increases the risk of distracted driving crashes. Subaru found a failed valve body in the transmission. This is the type of defect that should have a safety recall to reduce risks of crashes. Subaru issued an extended warranty in July 2017 for these transmission defects and covered vehicles with over 100,000 miles through July 31, 2018. The extended warranty and later date appear to be to avoid a safety recall. Vehicles that had not failed were not to be brought for repair. Had there been a recall, this safety issue would have been corrected before July 31, 2018.

- Bridgewater, MA, USA

Transmission causes stalling when stopping requiring restarting of engine. Subaru has acknowledged problem with a tsb and extended the transmission warranty to 10 years /100,000mile. This is a very expensive fix that customers should not be responsible for. According to Subaru it requires tearing down the tranny to replace a simple bearing and cost to customer exceeds $3000. Subaru has failed to notify customers at the problem might exist in their cars there by putting customers at a disadvantage for repairing the car. My car has 114,000 miles on it is a 2011 and is within the 10 years but not 100,000 miles I don't feel that I should responsible to repair a problem that they have at knowledge exist and is a factory defect

- Otis, OR, USA

Engine stalls if stop abruptly. Car shudders on acceleration at highway speeds and up hills when attempting to accelerate. There appears to a bulletin 16-90-13R but it should be a recall. Subaru should cover the cost of the repair for the life of the vehicle.
