Description of the problem	I bought this care a few years ago and from day one if ever in traffic or on highway and have to stop really quickly, it will cause the car to stall,, i had no idea what was wrong i loved the car and just avoided stoping abruptly , but as i have learned over the years this is impossible, a car must be able to stop, its life or death serious... To many time to count my 2012 subaru legacy has stalled,,, come to find out subaru is fully aware of this issue and has avoided a recall,,, thing is i am a father so for years i have been driving a car that has this dangerous defect,, very alarming,,, so i contacted subaru directly and because there is not a recall ,, they just gave me the run around,, this problem with the torque converter is widely known,,, this has lead me to filing this report,,, thing is if subaru doesn't want to do a recall at least fix the ones that are brought to your attention, to insure public safety, it is just very unfair and honestly very dangerous,,,, subaru is aware of this problem with the cvt yet has so far dodged a bullet and honestly i have to , just glad i didn't get in a wreck,,,, subaru please make this right
