Consumer Description
MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE STALLING WHEN I SLOWED SLOWED DOWN BECAUSE THE RPMS DROPPED FAR TOO LOW. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP PROPERLY WITHOUT THREAT OF STALLING. MY VEHICLE HAS NOW STALLED MORE THAN 5 TIMES WHILE ON THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. I FEEL THAT MY SAFETY IS THOROUGHLY AT STAKE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY TURNS OFF. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE LACK OF COOPERATION THAT SUBARU HAS TO GIVEN TO COMPENSATE ME. IF STALLING OUT WAS NOT ENOUGH, MY CAR HAS NOW BEGUN TO SQUEAL AND BUCK DURING ACCELERATION. I WAS ON VACATION WHEN THIS ISSUE BECAME WORSE AND COULD BARELY MAKE IT BACK HOME FOR WORK ON MONDAY. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH LEGACIES & OUTBACKS FROM THE YEARS 2010-2012. I FIND UNETHICAL THAT ALL SUBARU WILL DO IS OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT DOES NOT COVER ME.
