2011 Subaru LEGACY Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1360235
Internal NHTSA #	10958006
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	LEGACY
Model Year	2011
File date	03/02/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My torque converter is locking up under breaking/coming to a stop and the engine shutters and shuts down. When the vehicle is in motion, the problem occurs upon stopping or slowing down rapidly to a slow crawl (i. E. Less than 5 mph). This issue is very repeatable and causes delay if you are trying to move out of the way of oncoming vehicles or emergency vehicles in the case of a highway backup, etc. I have read forums where several other subaru owners are experiencing the same issue. Subaru acknowledges the problem in tsb 16-90-13r but from my research they are charging thousands of dollars for the repair. This is a safety issue with a faulty component that must be recalled, not voluntarily repaired. This is especially important since many subaru owners are probably not yet aware of the problem.

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.
