 Description of the problemWe have passed down my husbands 2011 outback to our teenage daughter as her first car. This car has been taken very good care of and is serviced regularly. It has been driven mostly highway miles $146,000. Last year in january the car acted up and the head gasket, timing belt, water pump were all fixed ($3500. 00). In the past every once in a while the car would stall out at a light or when changing from reverse to drive. 2 days after my daughter started using it around town she noticed it stalling every time she went out. We did some research and apparently the torque converter is a know issue with subaru and an extended warranty has been issued rather than a repair. We brought the car to our subaru dealer again and they agreed that it was the torque converter and could be repaired for $1950. It would not be covered under the extended warranty because of the miles on the car. This should not be allowed as anacceptable solution to a problem. There is a known issue with this car that causes the car to stall. Subaru seems to have gone around the actual problem by not using the word "stall" in its distribution of the problem. They should be held responsible for all cars that stall while driving when they put in a faulty parts. If my husband drove more around town i am sure we would have realized this before but this is not a problem that the consumer should have to take on... A car that is known to stall should not be allowed on the road and the company who caused this to happen should be responsible to pay for it... I expected more from subaru and they want us to put our family into their cars? Well my daughter won't be driving a car that isn't safe.
