2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited Wagon 4-Door 2.5L

2011 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited - Cypress Green / Tan Leather - 156,000 Miles
Fully Loaded, his car has been my baby and I've owned it since day-one! Oil changed exclusively with Mobil 1 every 3500 miles (factory calls for 7500). Just paid it off and received the title in the mail today. Time for a new one! I'm on the road in sales and do almost 40,000 a year covering from Connecticut to Maine, ostly highway. The car is clean, ever been in an accident and in very good shape. Tires are top of the line Michelin Defenders (purchased 3/25/14) with lots of tread left (probably another 30,000 mi.) and I'm including 4- Blizzak Snow Tires (purchased 1/1/14) with 2 seasons on them. I covered Vermont / New Hampshire & Maine and with All-Wheel Drive and Snow Tires this handles in snow like it's on rails!! They should have at least 2 more winters left in them! I just replaced the original battery with a new one this month.

Mechanically the car is well maintained, 've always used Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil and changed it at 3500 mi. instead of the factory recommended 7500 mi. Brakes were done about 3 months ago (7-20-15) at 149,481 mi., iming Belt was done at 110,001 mi. and not due again until 220,001 mi., park Plugs were replaced at 98,240 mi. & not due again until 198,240 mi. & I've done all recommended maintenance and car runs perfect with only one known issue.
**The only issue this car has is common to this Subaru. Occasionally the torque converter will unlock late or not at all and when coming to a stop the RPMs will drop or occasionally cause the car to stall. When I feel this I shift it to neutral and then right back to drive and it unlocks every time. You can research it by looking up:
Subaru Bulletin number 16-90-13R
REVISED: 05/07/14
APPLICABILITY:
2010-*12* MY Legacy and Outback Models Equipped with CVT Transmission
"Design Change to Lock-Up Type Torque Converter
INTRODUCTION
This bulletin announces the availability of a countermeasure torque converter assembly to address a customer concern of very low engine RPM when coming to a stop. The condition is similar to coming to a stop in a manual transmission equipped vehicle without depressing the clutch pedal. Thrust washer wear inside the torque converter can cause restriction of the oil passage used to bleed off lock-up clutch application pressure. The result is either a delayed (momentary low engine rpm) or no lock-up pressure release. The thrust washer has been changed from a solid bushing-type to a needle bearing type."
It happens so seldom and is easily addressed by momentarily shifting into Neutral and back that I haven't bothered pursuing repairing it. I have a friend who has a Legacy (same car but a sedan) with 280,000 miles on it and he has the same issue and just does a momentary shift into neutral like I do.
