NHTSA Complaint #10927106 — 2011 SUBARU LEGACY

** THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, IT IS NOT A ONE-TIME EVENT. ** WHILE DRIVING AND THEN APPLYING THE BRAKES TO TRY TO STOP THE CAR, THE ENGINE SHUDDERS AND THEN STALLS OUT COMPLETELY - THE ENGINE STOPS. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY WHILE BRAKING SUDDENLY TO COME TO A STOP, AND IT SEEMS TO BE AVOIDABLE IF THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO A STOP VERY SLOWLY AND GRADUALLY. THE CAR MAY STALL OUT WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN ON A LOCAL ROAD OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A STREET OR HIGHWAY. THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THEN RESTARTED. AT TIMES THIS HAS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS AND NERVOUS SITUATION FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY STOP-AND-GO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WHILE MOMENTARILY STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR A REAR END COLLISION IS VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN.
