Consumer Description

THE CAR SHUDDERS AND DIES WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF COMING TO A HARD STOP. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO START IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION. VERY DANGEROUS! THERE IS A TSB (16-90-13R) OUT ON THIS PROBLEM (FAILED THRUST WASHER). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! SUBARU WANTS OVER $1800 TO REPLACE THE FAILED PART. MY CAR HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT. SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON OUTBACKS STARTING AROUND 80,000 MILES. ...UPDATED 04/27/17 *BF
