Problems with 2012 Subaru Outback POWER TRAIN

The vehicle stalls when coming to a stop. if the accelerator is pushed you can avoid the stall but this is not always feasible. the sudden stall out is very unsafe as it takes putting the vehicle in park, restarting, putting in drive to mobilize the vehicle again.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 subaru outback. while driving approximately 45 mph and reducing the speed to 20 mph, the vehicle stalled and shut off. the vehicle was taken to subaru of glendale (1308 s. brand blvd, glendale, ca) where it was diagnosed that the torque converter was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 162,000.

When driving on the freeway my transmission suddenly lost power it would intermittently go then stop again. i had a semi right behind me that almost ran over the top of me. as i made it to my exit it began making noise. i drove it straight into my mechanic who thoroughly inspected it and said the transmission had failed.

After 7 years of diligent care of my 2012 outback, my transmission is failing. this is a known issue in my make and model. this will cost me $7k out of pocket to replace. subaru claims to have 'quality as our highest priority', but did not address this known issue and have put the burden on their customers. this is my third subaru, and it would be nice if the company stood behind their work and supported their customers

My vehicle has been stalling when coming to a stop, it starts to shudder when slowing then stalls at stop. safety is becoming an issue when in traffic, or on highway in stop and go. there has not been a recall for torque converter issues or cvt transmissions just extended warranty. unfortunately there were not issues when this was extended. this is on a 2012 subaru outback, with 130,000 miles

Accelerating from a stopped position, or from a low speed as when making a turn or merging, the vehicle jerks and bucks, comes to a near stall at least once each time, more often 2 or 3 times in quick succession, until the vehicle gains more speed, approximately 10 mph, and the symptoms subside. vehicle was driven out of necessity a maximum 20 miles on a few days since symptoms began, consistently bucking and near stalling in those conditions, causing traffic disturbances and endangering my family, myself, and other drives on the road. 4 days later the dash lights came on while driving-check engine, flashing emergency brake, traction control, flashing at temp oil-i immediately pulled off the road, bucking and near stalling all the way. car was towed. odb-ii codes were-transmission control malfunction, and torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid central circuit. mechanic says can't drive the car. background checking shows that instead of a recall, a warranty was put in place then due to the extent of the complaints on this, warranty was extended, and subaru refuses to take appropriate action to resolve this unsafe, expensive, and known issue. there is additionally a sulev emissions warranty which covers this, ...

The cvt transmission failed while traveling at a high speed down the interstate with no warning. after doing further research subaru is very aware of this cvt issues and has taken a very poor and limited approach to stand behind and fix this issue. they told me at the dealership that i was on my own to pay for the repair and it was a 10k fix.

My 2012 subaru outback engine will shut off when coming to a complete stop when exiting a freeway, coming to a stop on a side street. speed does not play a factor in this. this happens intermittently and clearly, is a safety issue! i never received a notification on this matter from subaru that there is a known defect with the torque converter in the transmission. this is something that should have been and still should be a recall. fatalities could be a result of this! subaru needs to be held accountable and not just by extending the warranty. again this is a huge safety isuue!

While in motion,the cvt transmission suddenly failed without warning. causing the car to stop forward motion. if this had happened in traffic, it could cause a accident. this is a series safety issue. cvt transmission is a sealed unit, no serviceable parts. car is 11k outside warranty. only repair is 8k replacement.

My outback stalls when coming to a stop. it would do it randomly but now it does it all the time. subaru won't do anything for me except tell me how much it will cost to fix the torch converter without even checking it on their computer. i have heard of several issues with the cvt and i want to know for sure.

While getting on an off ramp vehicle stalled going 45mph due to the valve body in transmission locking up. subaru has knowledge of this issue and released a bulletin: 16-90-13r, but only will fix if the issue arises and not before. this issue does not gradually show up but rather happens all at once.

Vehicle occasionally stalls while stopped at a street light. dealer says it is probably torque converter lockup. has happened 3 times while waiting to make a left hand turn. vehicle has 135k miles on it. seems like a legitimate safety issue to me.

Vehicle stalls intermittently when coming to a stop or attempting to accelerate from a stop. this is an extremely urgent safety concern. this also seems to have caused inconsistent starting issues. i have replaced the starter and still have issues. seems to be a torque converter problem. this issue has been reported by many owners and has not been adequately addressed by subaru with an available fix in a recall.

Vehicle shudders when coming to a stop and will stall when going from stopped to motion. subaru replaced the torque converter 2 years ago and told us this would fix the issue and it did for a little while. the vehicle is now doing the exact same thing--stalling out is a safety issue. subaru determined that it was once again a faulty/bad torque converter--so this seems like an issue with subaru torque converters. the first time, they admitted their mistake and paid for the repair. i asked them again to cover it and was even told on the phone by a subaru representative that the torque converter in a vehicle should not have gone bad the first time, much less the second time...but since my mileage is over their "goodwill" limit for the warranty extension, they will not fully cover the repar/replacement of the torque converter a second time (after having the new one for 2 years, only 45,000 miles.) i know that we are not the only consumers that this is happening too and as it is a known problem with their torque converters and a definite safety issue, my hope is that this will prompt a recall or ...
