Description of the problem	I currently own a 2010 subaru outback. I started experiencing the car stalling and shutting off whenever you come to a sudden stop. It happen with my daughter on the main road and she panic. As time when on the problem got worse. I brought it to my mechanic and the problem was diagnosed as a bad torque converter. He advised it will get worse as time go on. I went on a few subaru threads online and saw that several people were experiencing the same thing. A new torque converter was order from subaru which had a different part number from the original. Subaru advised that upgrades were made due to previous failure issues with torque converter. Total cost of parts and labor was $1238. 78 and was done on 06/20/2017. Few weeks after work was done i received a notice from subaru regarding extended warranty on transmission work and reimbursement if job already done. I submitted my claim and was denied because my car has a previous salvage history. I fully understand that a salvage history voids the warranty but i feel the torque converter problem should have been done through a safety recall. A failure of a part that can cause a car to stall should be considered a safety issue. New upgraded torque converter by the manufacturer proves their acknowledgment that the previous part has a fault. I am not disputing their warranty policy but disputing that torque converter failure poses a safety issue and i am requesting a reimbursement of money spent in which subaru has denied. So many other owners salvage history or not have experienced the same issue.
