Description of the problem	When driving the check engine light/traction control light came on and stayed on while the cruise control and the parking break light began flashing. Lately i've noted the vehicle shuttering when slowing and almost stalling out. This is at stop lights/stop signs or driving out of the driveway. After taking it to the dealer they confirmed the valve body needed replacement... And that this is a known issue with over 1. 5 million subarus affected. Could also be a torque converted issues, however, my dealer didn't mention this. I've contacted subaru as there was an extended warranty to 100k miles however, my car has just slightly more than that. It sounds like this is a known issue and creates anxiety to drive in traffic not knowing if your car will simply stall out and have someone hit you. This issue has been happening for a little bit of time (maybe 6 months?) with no lights showing issues. The car has been maintained consistently and on time since i bought it new.
