File date	14/08/20
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle dies upon somewhat sudden stops such as traffic light changing to red and needing to stop or someone pulling out in front of us etc. This is a severe traffic safety issue and could cause serious injury or death if large vehicle or 18 wheeler etc is following close on highway and subaru dies upon braking and unable to keep moving after brakes applied. We have e-mailed subaru headquarters and they replied as not their problem. We have had a 50 year professional master mechanic business state that is the torque converter is faulty and not allowing the cvt system to work as should when braking and vehicle will die. There is past tsb on this issue but no recall. Do numerous subaru owners need to needlessly die if not already before someone takes responsibility for this serious vehicle safety issue? This defect happens on city streets and highways.
