2011 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

WHEN CAR IS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN IT STALLS AND DIES ON ME AND I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT BACK UP. I HAD A TIME WHERE IT IDLED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE AND DIDN'T BUT IT DOES THIS 4 TO 8 TIMES A DAY. NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK DUE TO IT STALLING. PLEASE HELP THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IT IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR . I NEED ANSWERS.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP DUE TO TORQUE CONVERTER MALFUNCTION COMPANY WON'T ISSUE RECALL

MY 2011 SUBARU LEGACY HAS SUDDENLY BEEN EXPERIENCING TERRIFYING SHUDDERING AND STALLS WHEN I COME TO A STOP TOO ABRUPTLY. IN MY CASE MY VEHICLE STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER THAT HAS AFFECTED 1.5 MILLION OTHER SUBARU OWNERS. SUBARU HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AS A RECALL. I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY CAR.

ENGINE SHUDDERS AND STALLS WHILE BREAKING DUE TO TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! SUBARU REFUSE TO REPAIR MY CAR SAYING THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY TOLD NO ONE ABOUT.

MY CAR HESITATES AND TURNS OFF SOMETIMES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP OR RED LIGHT, RPMS FLUCTUATE AS I BRAKE OR ACCELERATE, MY BRAKE LIGHT IS ON SOLID AND I GET A AT OIL TEMP LIGHT FLASHING AND THEN I CAN'T USE MY PADDLESHIFTERS AT ALL, CAR SOUNDS HIGHLY REV'D BUT DOESN'T GO AS FAST! PLEASE HELP AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I DRIVE ON CALIFORNIA FREEWAYS EVERYDAY AND THIS IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY WHEN COMMUTING.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 SUBARU LEGACY 2.5I LIMITED IN APRIL 2018 WITH 99,110 MILES. IT WAS DRIVING FINE UNTIL ABOUT 104,000 MILES WHEN THERE STARTED TO BE SOME STALLING AND SLIPPING PROBLEMS. I HAD A P2096 CODE AND ASSUMED IT WAS A VACUUM OR BRAKE BOOSTER LEAK. I HAD BAD SHAKING COMING FROM AROUND THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS. BY THE TIME MY MECHANIC AND I WERE ABLE TO REALIZE IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I HAD ALREADY MISSED THE WINDOW FOR SUBARU'S EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE RECALL. I HAVE A CVT TRANSMISSION THAT SUBARU CLAIMS NEVER HAS TO BE SERVICED, BUT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A FAILING TRANSMISSION ON A CAR WITH ONLY 106,000 MILES WITH ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE. MY CAR WILL STALL OF OR SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE OR WHILE BREAKING AT STOPLIGHTS AND ONCE CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE IN HICKORY, NC BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. NOBODY WAS INJURED, BUT IT MADE ME FEAR FOR MY SAFETY IN MY CAR.

CAR BEGAN CUTTING OFF WHEN STOPPING (CAR STOPS THEN SHUTS OFF, DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON, WILL RESTART AFTER PUTTING GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND TURNING IGNITION) SUCH AS IN TRAFFIC, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, WHEN STOPPING TO MAKE A TURN. FIRST OCCURRED ON AN 8 LANE WIDE OVERPASS. THEN, HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR NEXT TWO DAYS, NOT WITH EVERY STOP BUT ABOUT HALF THE TIME, SEEMED MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WITH A 'HARD' OR SUDDEN STOP. A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION BECAUSE, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD RUN INTO YOU WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO RE-START THE CAR. SUBARU OF AMERICA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (10YR OR 100K MILES) WHICH I RECEIVED LETTER ABOUT IN JULY 2017. MY CAR'S CVT TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED UNDER THIS WARRANTY AFTER FIRST BEING MISDIAGNOSED BY DEALER AS A DIRTY THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR HAS 96K MILES ON IT. FROM READING ONLINE, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY WITH CERTAIN YEAR SUBARU MODELS AND MAKES. NOT SURE IF OTHER MAKES HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 SUBARU IN 2014. THE HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BLOW EVERY 3 MONTHS AT MOST. I REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IN NOVEMBER. THE DRIVER SIDE THEN BLEW IN DECEMBER AND NOW, IT IS FEBRUARY AND MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS BLOWN AGAIN! THIS IS JUST INSANE AND VERY ANNOYING FOR A COMMUTER THAT DRIVES OVER AN HOUR ONE WAY TO WORK AND THEN OVER AN HOUR AGAIN HOME FROM WORK IN THE DARK ON BACK ROADS WITHOUT LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS UNSTABLE AND THE VEHICLE VEERED LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (THE MOTOR COMPANY, W 1680 US-41, MARINETTE, WI 54143, (715) 735-7474) WHO PROVIDED AN ALIGNMENT, BUT THE CONDITION CONTINUED TO PROGRESS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

NO AIRBAG PROTECTION, AIRBAG FAIL INDICATOR ON - DEALER ANTICIPATES $1500 REPAIR. NO ACCIDENTS, NEVER FLOOD DAMAGE. AND SUBARU'S SELLING POINT IS SAFETY AT AS PRIME DIRECTIVE!.
