Cpsc: our 2012 subaru legacy while parked in our garage was found with two flat tires at same time. one tire on passenger front was catastrophic failure as 2 major holes were in sidewall from huge blowout and rear passenger tire had bulge in sidewall leaking air. *dt the consumer stated the brand of tires were pirelli p4 season p215/60r16 95t sl bsw. *js *tr*jb
My 2012 subaru legacy stalls out when i come to a stop. it does this randomly. it is very dangerous as it can happen any time in traffic. i was told that it is caused by a faulty torque converter.
Engine turns off when car comes to stop. 5 times in the last 3 weeks my car engine has died. on one occasion i missed a green light and on another occasion was almost rearended at a stop sign.
Sunroof shattered with a very load bang. driving on a highway during the day in good weather and at constant speed. nothing hit the sunroof. there were no cars or trucks in front of me. i did not go over a bridge or any other structure. it "spontaneously" shattered.
On july 31 of 2017 i brought my car to 'big o tires' for routine brake inspection. there was no warning lights or signs on car dashboard. after brakes inspection my car was declared unsafe to leave the shops without repair. the repair had to be made because of both rear calipers where frozen. i had no choice and agreed to repairs (my car then had mileage of 27,500 miles; the copy of subaru extended warranty policy i received in september 2017). repair included replacement of calipers, rotors and brake pads (all rear). also, new tires, as their extensive wear was consistent with brake problems. statement of repair and policy are attached. [several month before this repair i visited subaru dealership with concern of high fuel consumption inconsistent with mileage i drove. at that time no repair was made, and i only guess that computer reset was done.]
Torque converter - car stalls when braking abruptly. can/will cause accident soon...
Tire pressure monitoring system on one tire failed before 5 to 7 year expected life span thus making the fail-safe system inoperable
