Filed Mar 30, 2022 · Engine · PA

1. When coming to a stop the vehicle will shudder and stall. Vehicle drives fine until slowing down to and then will sometimes shudder and stall. 2. The car stalling when slowing down others drivers can hit you as they do not expect you to come to a complete stop. 3. I am taking the car to the dealer tomorrow. 4. I have notified the dealer of the issue and I have found two bulletins from the manufacture regarding this issue, which I found from other people who have complained of the same exact problem with their make of vehicle 5. No warning lights came on, I would slow down for a stop sign and before even stopping the car shudders and stalls, I have to put the car in park to start the and the car so far has started.

Vehicle will shudder and stall when coming to a stop most often in the uphill position, it will also stall when coming to a stop after braking hard. This problem is avoided if you place the car in neutral but that is the only way. Engine idle will drop drastically and the vehicle has a hard time reengaging into drive after coming to a complete stop. I assume it is the CVT transmission or the torque convertor.

Issue: when slowing down and then during final braking (such as at a stop sign or traffic light and also when applying the brakes to avoid a dangerous situation at speed on the highway) the car will "shudder" and then the engine will stall and stop running. This is particularly dangerous in traffic if it is necessary to get off the road. The car was brought to brewster, ny subaru (845 278 8300) and the technician claimed it did not show any codes on the computer. I then asked for a drive with the service manager and then he was able to replicate the issue several times. After never having road tested the car until I asked for it they came back with the guess that it was the torque converter. Cost to fix aprox. $1770.00.I understand that there was a service bulletin issued on this, but I never received it. I also never received a recall notice. Considering the danger of this fault, I believe there should have been a recall. The car currently has aprox. 88,000 miles. Subaru should be responsible for the repair.

When making a hard break the RPM's will drop so low that the vehicle will begin to shudder and then eventually stall. This I find is dangerous because there have been times where I've been at an intersection and had to hard break and I have to turn my car off and turn it back on before I can move out of the way. There is a recall for my same year 2010 for the subaru outback manual, I have the CVT transmission so I'm sure they differ but essentially described as the same issue. I notice it more at the beginning of my drives if I drive for over a half hour I don't recall experiencing the issue any longer. It's been progressively getting worse over the last few months. I read online that sound correct to the problem with a reflash some corrected the problem by replacing the torque converter and some a new transmission. I have been putting my car in neutral to keep the rpms from dropping out so low that the car stalls out
