| Description of the problem | Complaint -- when i go to brake the car stalls, i have to pump the brakes and then brake hard to prevent a stall, if i don't the car stops and i have to put it in park and restart. I cannot drive in backed up traffic. I cannot come to a soft stop or roll to a stop. This is a major safety hazard, i took it to the dealer and they said it was the torque converter at $1600 my expense, and possible the valve body that can be damaged by the converter from the metal shards that will be $1200, so a total of $2800, and my extra warranty has run out, of course. There is a tsb 16-90-13--01/06/14, on this issue and subaru has changed out the part but is making the consumer fit the bill, even though they admit it is their fault. This needs to be a recall-----https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2014/sb-10067826-0699. Pdf |
