MY SUBARU LEGACY HAS BEEN RECENTLY STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT SHUDDERS AND IF YOU DO NOT GIVE IT GAS OR PLACE IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WILL DIE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS CAUSED FROM A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER THAT SUBARU IS AWARE OF BUT HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I'M NOT SURE I WOULD BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT THAT ISN'T FULLY BACKED AND SUPPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
