smilefxr10 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just brought my 2012 Subaru in for service. The car would stall as it was coming to a stop - Just under 10-15mph. the Dealer said it is a Faulty torque Converter that needs to be replaced. Is this common on a 2 year old car with 46000 miles?? Might I be suspicious they are misdiagnosing the problem?? Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi. Could be something going on with it. Most likely not unlocking for some reason, possibly something flaky with the lockup duty solenoid? Maybe it then stalls, loses line pressure, and the TC unlocks so you can restart it.

nipper Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Is this under warranty? It is an uncommon failure in a Subaru, but classic symptoms. Can be fairly easy to diagnose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster2 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Does the dealer want to replace the torque converter under warranty at no cost to you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
