Consumer Description

SHUTTERS WHEN YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE. ALSO, WILL SHUTTER AND STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT!! 123,000 MILES, SO NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT SUBARU HAS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM! WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AS WE CANNOT AFFORD BRAND NEW CAR PAYMENTS AND WERE TOLD BY MANY THAT SUBARU IS A VERY RELIABLE VEHICLE. WILL DEFINITELY NOT BY ANOTHER SUBARU AND WILL DISCOURAGE ANYONE ELSE FROM DOING SO!!
