Description of the problem	Over the past year my mechanic has put in two new batteries in my car. My 2011 outback has a problem with starting, this was back when i had 80,000 miles on it. The connectors where fine and he cleaned them. The issue still has not been resolved, he can't seem to figure out what is causing it. There is no problem with the alternator. The passenger rear brake light has been replaced three times in four years of ownership, again no cause for the problem. I've taken it to authorized subaru dealerships and the original one i purchased from to no prevail. Today i write with the issue of my cvt. The fact that i received a one year or 100,000 miles from date of year made is or which ever comes first is complete crap. Today i started experiencing issues with the car wanting to what i describe as stalling out. I was going down my road which was slushy from snow/rain but mainly wet from the rain that came. Subaru told me there is nothing wrong, and won't do anything till something brakes. So if the problem which has plagued almost fifty thousand outbacks causing 'stalling" like manuals when the clutch isn't engaged and being told it needs to brake?? This is not safe to owners. This is not safe to other motorists. This is deaths waiting to happen, this needs to be addressed and made a recall. Only in the united states can a manufacturer get away with such things as this. I'm heading into winter in new england, last thing i need is for my car to fail in a storm, medical situation etc.. And be stranded because the automaker isn't taken full responsibility. Snow blows don't stop on a time, is it really necessary to continue to neglect the problem ?? Which should be a recall which is failure on the government for not forcing the issue.
