Description of the problem	My 2011 subaru outback has stalled out several times this summer, but the event that i can recall most objectively for reporting purposes occurred on august 17, 2019 when my vehicle stalled completely after applying the brakes suddenly to stop due to being flagged by an oncoming driver on my neighborhood road while traveling about 40 mph. I had to turn over ignition switch to get the vehicle going again. When i reached home, i researched online for causes of stalling in 2011 subaru outbacks, and i found numerous complaints by other owners of the same issue. According to people who have had their vehicles repaired it is the torque converter. Subaru issued an extension to the vehicle warranty to cover the cost of repair up to 100,000 miles which does me no good because at the time of the incident, i was well over the 100,000 miles. Cost of the repairs on average is $2200. 00. It is my understanding that if there is a known problem with a vehicle where driver/occupant safety is at risk, the car manufacturer has to recall the product. I would think a car stalling completely while in operation/motion in traffic/ road travel would qualify as a potential safety hazard.
