Consumer Description
I HAD NOTIFIED YOU ABOUT MY SUBARU OUTBACK AND THE STALLING PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING WHENEVER WE WOULD COME TO A QUICK STOP. SUBARU MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $11,000. WE HAD A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THEY REPLACED THE CONVERTER AT A MUCH CHEAPER COST AND THE VEHICLE SO FAR HAS PERFORMED WELL. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE STUTTER PROBLEM WHENEVER THEY COME TO A STOP BUT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT STALLED. I AM CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL IN TIME JUST AS OURS DID. SHOULD SUBARU ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE CONVERTERS?
