| Description of the problem | The 2010 subaru outback 4 cylinder, standard, has a significant stall flaw. The vehicle will stall in traffic when the clutch is pressed. This happened on the interstate while accelerating on the onramp. At 50 mph with the clutch depressed, the engine stalled resulting in no power steering. A tractor trailer barely avoided hitting this car as we maneuvered to the side. The engine started up promptly. This is the 10th time the car has stalled and the most serious to date. Other incidents have been at lower speeds with the clutch depressed: 20 mph, left turns, and decelerating. The local dealership has inspected the car 3 times, but has not duplicated the issue. |
