The car is stalling when coming to a stop. as you slow down the vehicle shutters, and then stops. the awd, check engine, traction, battery, oil, at oil temp all light up. you have to put the car into park to restart the engine. this happened in the middle of an intersection. this happened twice in the day.
The transmission shakes/shudders when coming to a stop or traveling slowly. it has happened with increasing frequency. sometimes, when the shudder occurs, the car will die, requiring a shift into a park and a restart.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. while driving 15 mph and stopping at a traffic light, the vehicle shut off. the contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. the vehicle was taken to austin subaru (located at 8100 burnet rd, austin, tx 78757, (512) 220-0930) where it was diagnosed that the torque converter and valve body needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 130,000.
115000 miles , sudden stops kills the engine rendering loss of steering control. cvt transmission torque converter acts as is locks up taking engine rpm down to a stall condition . happens anytime one has to apply the brakes suddenly. normal braking car functions ok.
When braking, the car often stalls and all requires a shift into park, and a restart of the entire engine before being able to proceed. when it stalls, steering is also affected. this frequently happens on city streets, but also happens when pulling into parking spaces and when slowing for turning. this has been happening with increasing frequency.
Car shutters and engine dies when coming to a stop. dealership said it's the torque converter. common for subaru legacy 2012. i don't feel safe driving it.
Car shakes then stalls when coming to a stop. stalling began at approximately 75,000 miles(november 2018) but happened only twice in 4 months so i didn't think much of it, but today 3/5/19 it happened twice(i now have 79,000 miles). have an appointment at subaru to have car serviced on 3/11/19. however, from reading the complaints, i don't think i am going to be happen with the outcome.
The torque converter of my vehicle is not shutting off properly!!! this began happening to my vehicle during the first week of february 2019. as i came to a sudden stop, my car started shaking, the wheel locked up, and my engine completely stalled out and died at a stoplight. i nearly got rear ended and now it has happened to me in total twice! my car is now at 118k miles which puts it over subaru's 100k warranty. this is a very dangerous issue as it has affected many subaru owners world wide. subaru must offer a recall on this part!!!!!
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.
Squeel and jerkking. see service bulletin and extended warranties. tsb 16-90-13r; car is outside extended warranty but this is a vehicle defect that should covered and recalled.
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
Transmission shakes or rumbles between gears while accelerating. occasionally car will completely lose power and stall. this started happening with mileage at about 97,000 in february of 2018. subaru dealer in danbury, ct said it was a propeller shaft and rear differential problem. then brought car to subaru dealer in brewster, ny who recommended transmission replacement. service bulletins online describe the exact problem happening on the legacy 3.6 transmission. car now has 121,000 miles on it. car functions, but vibration between gears continues. also occasionally completely loses power momentarily - very dangerous. dealers say blue book value of my car is less than cost of a replacement transmission. contacted subaru of america who offered me a $100 goodwill parts & service coupon.
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. *tr
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.
