TRANSMISSION CAUSES STALLING WHEN STOPPING REQUIRING RESTARTING OF ENGINE. SUBARU HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WITH A TSB AND EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS /100,000MILE. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX THAT CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR . ACCORDING TO SUBARU IT REQUIRES TEARING DOWN THE TRANNY TO REPLACE A SIMPLE BEARING AND COST TO CUSTOMER EXCEEDS 3000.00. SUBARU HAS FAILED TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS AT THE PROBLEM MIGHT EXIST IN THEIR CARS THERE BY PUTTING CUSTOMERS AT A DISADVANTAGE FOR REPAIRING THE CAR. MY CAR HAS 114,000 MILES ON IT IS A 2011 AND IS WITHIN THE 10 YEARS BUT NOT 100,000 MILES I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE AT KNOWLEDGE EXIST AND IS A FACTORY DEFECT
