Any have issues with Outback’s sputtering, shaking, possible transmission issues
What is your question?
Anyone having a similar issue? 2015 outback 3.6r. Around 2 years in ~25k miles car started hesitating when accelerating. Felt a bit as though it was running out of gas. Progressively got worse, eventually car started shaking violently and with engine light flashing. When that happened the dealer replaced the transmission.
Now, about two years later at 72k miles it’s happened again. The car was hesitating and sputtering very hard, engine light flashing. I had to pull over and have it towed. Awaiting response from dealer.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Accelerating 20-40 moh

Hello, sputtering with engine light flashing sounds like an ignition control concern, like spark plugs, coils -- that sort of thing. I can't really say, though, since you had that previous experience, and also can't perform hands on testing.
The dealership is in the best position to figure out what's going on -- in this case -- and is also able to apply any emissions warranty coverages too. So, good luck!
