NHTSA Complaint #10919754 — 2010 SUBARU LEGACY

WHEN MAKING A HARD BREAK THE RPM'S WILL DROP SO LOW THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND THEN EVENTUALLY STALL. THIS I FIND IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I'VE BEEN AT AN INTERSECTION AND HAD TO HARD BREAK AND I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON BEFORE I CAN MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY SAME YEAR 2010 FOR THE SUBARU OUTBACK MANUAL, I HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION SO I'M SURE THEY DIFFER BUT ESSENTIALLY DESCRIBED AS THE SAME ISSUE. I NOTICE IT MORE AT THE BEGINNING OF MY DRIVES IF I DRIVE FOR OVER A HALF HOUR I DON'T RECALL EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE ANY LONGER. IT'S BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I READ ONLINE THAT SOUND CORRECT TO THE PROBLEM WITH A REFLASH SOME CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND SOME A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING MY CAR IN NEUTRAL TO KEEP THE RPMS FROM DROPPING OUT SO LOW THAT THE CAR STALLS OUT
