| Description of the problem | Complaint pertains to a 2006 subaru legacy 4dr sedan. In 2009, we experienced several instances of where the vehicle shut off completely when the driver stopped at a light or stop sign. Could not re-start for a minute or two. Multiple trips to the dealer over 9 months until finally diagnosed as a defective crankshaft sensor. Replaced by dealer (n/c). My reason for the report is that this could of occurred (but did not) on a major highway when a driver would come to a stop due to traffic. A stall on a major highway could put the driver in an unsafe situation. |
