What owners wrote
2010 subaru outback, 3750 miles. Took to the dealer when rattling noise seem to come from instrument cluster. Dealer had it for a week. Dealer service isolated the noise as coming from subaru new transmission. They called the company rep in southern calif. Who instructed the dealer to put the car back together and stated the problem is known, and no fix is available.
2010 subaru outback stalls when in neutral or between gears when the clutch is depressed. The stalling occurs nearly daily within the first ten minutes of driving and leaves the driver with no power steering and very limited braking. The problem occurs more frequently when the air conditioning is on. Two near accidents due to the condition as there is no indication that the car has stalled unless you keep your eyes on the dashboard lights and watch for them all to light up and the tachometer to zero.
