Description of the problem	When making a hard break the rpm's will drop so low that the vehicle will begin to shudder and then eventually stall. This i find is dangerous because there have been times where i've been at an intersection and had to hard break and i have to turn my car off and turn it back on before i can move out of the way. There is a recall for my same year 2010 for the subaru outback manual, i have the cvt transmission so i'm sure they differ but essentially described as the same issue. I notice it more at the beginning of my drives if i drive for over a half hour i don't recall experiencing the issue any longer. It's been progressively getting worse over the last few months. I read online that sound correct to the problem with a reflash some corrected the problem by replacing the torque converter and some a new transmission. I have been putting my car in neutral to keep the rpms from dropping out so low that the car stalls out

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
