2011 Subaru OUTBACK Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1548863
Internal NHTSA #	11190550

Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2011
File date	06/03/19
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle begins moving from a stop on city streets and then it quickly hesitates one or more times before staying in gear. This reduces consistent forward motion, increasing the risk of rear end or other crashes. The 2nd day warning lights flashed continuously on the instrument panel. This increases the risk of distracted driving crashes. Subaru found a failed valve body in the transmission. This is the type of defect that should have a safety recall to reduce risks of crashes. Subaru issued an extended warranty in july 2017 for these transmission defects and covered vehicles with over 100,000 miles through july 31, 2018. The extended warranty and later date appear to be to avoid a safety recall. Vehicles that had not failed were not to be brought for repair. Had there been a recall, this safety issue would have been corrected before july 31, 2018.
