Description of the problem	When coming to a stop, our subaru outback shudders and stalls out. This happens on various occasions and has become a bit of a safety concern when stopping in traffic. On february 6th 2017, i went to our local subaru service center and they inspect the car and explained that they need to replace the torque converter and associate components and this was validated by a service bulletin tsb #16-90-13r . They explained to us that the cost to repair/replace the torque convert would be $1546 dollars plus taxes. I see this more of a manufactures defect and a safety issue that needs to be address as a recall. Our vehicle has 96,404 mile as of this date and is well maintain with all service records available.
