Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The torque converter of my car is not shutting off properly, causing the vehicle to stall periodically. The car has stalled while i am in the middle of making a turn, causing the wheel to lock up, and it has stalled while i am on the highway. This car is no longer safe to drive, and the repairs cost $2,200. My car is over 100,000 miles so the warranty will no longer cover these repairs. I have attempted to contact subaru via their website to address the issue, but have yet to get a response. For now, my car is at the subaru dealership and i am forced to rely on friends and family for transportation. I know that this is an ongoing issue with the 2012 subaru legacy vehicles, and it is absolutely ridiculous that the company is not offering a recall on this part. I am being forced to jump through multiple hoops to attempt to get this issue resolved, and so far i have not been offered any option other than to pay for the repairs out of pocket.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
