| Description of the problem | When stopping the car stalls and dies on streets, highways, etc. I have almost been rear ended and it even died while obstructing oncoming traffic. Subaru issued a technical services bulletin (tsb 16-90-13r) which describes the issue perfectly, however due to milage (40k over 100k) they will not correct the bad part, which is no longer even availaable to purchase through them! Part # 31100ab170. The new part 31100ab171 and 31100ab172 should be issued to all 2010-2012 outback owners as a recall. If they will not even sell the original part anymore because they know it is garbage and then play the feel good best car ever commercials, that is misleading and fraudulent. Help nhtsa, you are our only hope. |
