Description of the problem | I am appealing to you for help with a dangerous problem. The engine of my new 2019 subaru crosstrek stalls when i jam on the break. This has happened twice on the road. Both times i was able to avert a fatal accident. 1.) the first time the engine shut down from a hard stop occurred the night of december 26th. The driver was on the highway, when he made a sharp break realizing he'd gone in the wrong direction. The car's engine shut down on the highway. Luckily it was night and few cars were on the road 2.) on sunday, april 7th, i was driving slowly on a country road. I stopped suddenly before a stop sign i hadn't seen. The car engine shut down. I had to turn the engine on a couple of times before the car got going. Luckily i was driving on a country road where there were few cars. I did a little research on the problem of the engine shutting off and found that this is a known issue with certain subaru crosstreks. The subaru dealer in vestal, ny, and subaru america did inspections on my car and concluded that there is no data confirming the problem. I say that the readings are not telling the whole story. I want a complete diagnosis and resolution to this dangerous problem. I want to know what is causing a shutoff when breaking suddenly and a solution, whatever that may be. I want to be safe on the road as do other people who have been reporting the same problem: http://www. Subaruxvforum. Com/forum/engine-drivetrain/163282-engine-stall-afer-hard-breaking. Html?
