Consumer Description
THE TORQUE CONVERTER OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT SHUTTING OFF PROPERLY!!! THIS BEGAN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2019. AS I CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AND DIED AT A STOPLIGHT. I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN TOTAL TWICE! MY CAR IS NOW AT 118K MILES WHICH PUTS IT OVER SUBARU'S 100K WARRANTY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AS IT HAS AFFECTED MANY SUBARU OWNERS WORLD WIDE. SUBARU MUST OFFER A RECALL ON THIS PART!!!!!
