NHTSA Complaint #11043344 — 2010 SUBARU FORESTER

ON NOVEMBER 2ND I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN MY CAR STALLED OUT, AS IF I HAD STALLED A MANUAL. THE BRAKE LOCKED UP AND THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WOULDN'T MOVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED WORKING FINE SO I DROVE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE. MY DAD SAID IT PROBABLY HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUT AND I DIDN'T LET MY CAR WARM UP ENOUGH. I LET IT WARM UP FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND WHEN I LEFT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. WHEN I LEFT MY STUDIO LATER THAT DAY, MY CAR STALLED OUT AS I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY WHICH IS MORE LIKE AN INTERSTATE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WORKED FINE AND I DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR TODAY NOVEMBER 4TH, AND MY CAR ACTED LIKE THE CLUTCH WENT OUT. MY CAR WILL NOT GO FORWARD IN ANY GEAR, IT ACTS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 1 MONTH AND 2 DAYS AGO. MY CAR HAS JUST OVER 99,000 MILES ON IT AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR SIGNS TO ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, I FOUND AN ARTICLE ON FORBES THAT DESCRIBES THE ISSUE WITH STALLING OUT. SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY SUBARU BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
