Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Transmission was replaced 5-22-17 under extended warranty. Assured that the vehicle was in working order we drove up to mammoth lakes ca that friday (5-26-17). 2 hours into the drive, just inside the mojave desert, we experienced a abrupt stalling/lunging sensation. Letting off the gas for a moment, i then gave the car a bit more gas and experienced the same sensation again. I pulled over to the shoulder and smelt a chemical/overheating smell. Shut the car off, popped the hood and no smoke. I then turned the vehicle back on and no check engine light or any other light was on. I then put the car into drive and proceeded. The rpm's went to about 4k but the car was not exhilarating. I drove the shoulder of the road for about 1/4 mile into a gas station. At 11pm i had no choice but to pay $600 to have it towed back to ladin subaru of thousand oaks. I am currently awaiting yet another diagnosis. Not sure i feel confident in the vehicle especially if it puts me at risk of being rear ended on a highway. Not to mention the issue occurred just 4 days after it was supposedly fixed! Subaru could potentially be in the hole for $16k as the car is still under its extended warranty. Not sure i even feel confident they can resolve the issue.
