2013 Subaru Forester Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The car engine wants to stall out when changing from reverse to drive while pulling onto the street. It usually does this within the first 10 minutes of driving. It also wants to stall out when I come to a complete stop-it will shudder and shake and catch itself at times but it usually stalls out. It will stall out in traffic when I am stopping at a light. I have to restart the car and continue. I took the car to the dealership and they stated the torque converter needs replaced for 1200.00.”
