| Description of the problem | Our 2011 outback would stutter at a stop, subaru said this was the way it was designed to conserve fuel. The vehicle now stalls, always starts back up but this is not comforting especially when my wife is driving by herself. This began sometime in january 2017 subaru tech said need to replace the entire transmission at a cost of $11,000. That's crazy. Was referred by a friend to a transmission shop in baytown, says it is the torque converter and can either be rebuilt or replaced. I took it in yesterday and hopefully will pick it up friday. I have made several trips to the subaru dealer and called the headquarters. I am not pleased with my first subaru. Should have stayed with a toyota which i have had great success with. Our family of 4 had 4 camry's and got a combined total of over 1,200,000 miles on them. |
