Can'y you Google it? Your Leg is probably starting to stall at stops, and will continue to get worse, as its CVT valve body solenoid is shot. No one wants to solder a new one in, so it's easier to replace the valve body assy ($700+$300 labor) entirely. Common problem with early CVTs. If you feel competent opening the trans and unbolting the valve body you can buy the solenoid and solder it in yourself. Dirty job though....

The bad news is that even after you spend $1k on the valve body the entire CVT can wear out, requiring full replacement with a used one for another $2k. It's for that reason I do not recommend nor purchase 2010-2014 Legs/OBs for my clients. If you drive often in the city...or stop often on a commute you won't want to live with the chronic stalling. If you drive only occasionally, and with few full stops, you may want to just ignore it if you can. Sorry for the bad news. Ern

Same problem wiith 2010 Legacy (103,200 miles) -- Check Engine (stead), traction (steady), brake (flashing), and Cruise (flashing) -- except no stalling, runs fine. Mechanic has reset the codes several times; it doesn;t happen for a week or two, then starts up again.
