Description of the problem	My 2011 subaru outback is experiencing shuddering & stalls when coming to a stop resulting in the engine shutting off. It occurs randomly, and nearly got in accidents with drivers behind me having to react to the sudden full stops. The vehicle is at a subaru dealership now for repairs to the torque converter as well as the valve box and value box wiring harness. There is a subaru technical bulletin #16-90-13r regarding a known problem with the torque converter: "2010-12 my legacy and outback models equipped with cvt transmission", subject "design change to lock-up type torque converter". Given the danger of random stalling events, the number of reported incidents, and the ~$4400 repair expense being put on me for a known design problem, i would think this should be strongly considered for a recall.
