07 automatic trans stall

[pltdsubaru]

i was driving my brand new 07 gt wagon and i was going threw a u turn and all of a sudden the motor shut off and i restarted the car and it turned right back on, i am wondering why the motor would stall like that?? Any body have that problem?

thats what you get for not driving a manual.

 

torque converter issue? i would called the dealer.

i was stopped going thru a u turn because there was traffic and then it just shut off

Ya know I just ran a search for this b/c yesterday morning going to McDonalds for breakfast I had this happen to me.

 

Was going downhill on a very cold morning in sport mode (not sharp), I went into the turn lane and slowed down (rpms dropped down), I came almost to a stop, b/c a car in front of me was slowing down waiting to turn, I accelerated and it stalled on me.

 

I think the combination of all those elements caused the stall, I mean I was really low on RPMs in 2nd gear (in regular drive mode) so the computer probably just didn't upshift in time and I went to accelerate and it stalled. If it happens again I'll have it looked at but I think it was just a freak thing. Perhaps I'll try to emulate that scenario again to see if I can make it happen again.

 

EDIT: Another reason driving in the manual shifting mode is good. Then things like this have less a chance of happening. I usually do, but it was cold, I was tired and lazy. Also, at least this only happened once for me since I got it, and not like.. once/week or every other week like in a manual
