| Description of the problem | My 2011 subaru outback is experiencing shuddering and stalls when going downhill or uphill, coming to a stop at city street intersections, resulting in the engine shutting off. It occurs randomly and i nearly got in accidents with drivers behind me having to react to the sudden, full stops. In one week, it has happened 3 times. I fear driving in the car alone and certainly with my family in the car! Upon notifying my subaru dealership of this experience, they stated it was an update i need. I never received any notice from subaru of said update. I have been diligent with service and any update/repair suggested by subaru dealership. I feel this is an emergent safety concern and notification to subaru owners! |
