2015 Subaru OUTBACK Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1197370
Internal NHTSA #	10732527
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2015
File date	16/10/14
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When the engine is cold, the idle speed is 1600 rpm when started. When placed in reverse or drive it reduces to a nominal 900-1000 rpm. When the vehicle starts to move it suddenly drops to 600 rpm. When braking to a stop after moving vehicle the rpm suddenly jumps to 900-1000 rpm just before vehicle halts. This causes sudden unexpected acceleration of the vehicle and presents a safety hazard. I believe this is due to an engine/transmission software issue. This has occurred since new.
