Transmission failure.

A few weeks ago the vehicle began to have difficulties shifting/accelerating from a stop it would feel like it was slipping and not responding to the accelerator . It has been evaluated as a transmission failure at a cost of $10,000. I purchased the vehicle new and purchased an extended warranty that would cover the power train up to 100,000 miles. The vehicle has had all scheduled maintenance performed and all of it at the same dealer service center with documentation. This includes a 90,000 mile service where the transmission was included in the preventive maintenance check and indicated as no issues. The vehicle has only been used for normal driving. No hauling or towing and no heavy cargo. The transmission should not fail only 12,000 miles outside of the warranty that I purchased and having been serviced appropriately and inspected within 20,000 of the current issue. Subaru of America is not covering the replacement under warranty for what appears to be a known safety issue that required them to extend this same 100,000 warranty coverage to all vehicles from this model year under what I understand to be a class action lawsuit settlement. The loss of acceleration and slipping in the shifting when powering away from a stop is dangerous if the vehicle stalls or suddenly slows due to loss of power and this is due to a known cvt issue. Subaru should be held accountable for all the vehicles they produced with this defect and not be able to hide behind a a lawsuit settlement that allowed them to leave vehicles like mine on the road as ticking time bombs all because the symptoms of the issue didn't show up before 2018 or a only 12,000 miles outside of their own warranty that they sold.

Cvt transmission failure of my 2014 Subaru Forester touring 2. 0 turbo model. When I put the car into park and turned off the car after driving, it did not turn off the dashboard lights, the belts were still spinning and I had to remove the battery to shut it off. 1 week later the battery was dead. I jump started and the engine light and other alerts were all lit. When I brought the car to my mechanic, he ran diagnostics and said the transmission will need to be replaced. The car is only 5 years old. Top of the line Subaru and I only have 56,860 miles on the car.

We has the car for 10 years. Car has 114k miles and transmission failed. We spent 5 k on the car for leaking gaskets and such. Had car inspected and they reassured me my car is good to go and will last for a long time. Thats not the case.

The transmission failed completely in July, 2018. I contacted a Subaru dealer on July 30 for service, but the first appointment available was on August 1st. I found out that Subaru had been having some of these problems and extended their warranties. Because my actual service was on August 1st, Subaru said I missed the extended warranty by one day! corporate Subaru offered to pay half of the $7,500 cost for a new transmission, but I was left to pay the rest. They said if I had been a "more loyal" customer they would have paid more than half. I left the car at the dealership for 3 months trying to negotiate the price down. Eventually I had to pay for $2,000 of the repair. I don't understand why Subaru has not had to recall the vehicles experiencing these transmission failures, or at least pay for repairs once it fails. When we first felt the vehicle not responding normally, we stooped driving. It was not safe.

November 28, 2017 � a Subaru transmission warranty extension has been issued for 2010-2015 legacy and outback, 2012-2015 impreza, 2013-2015 crosstrek, 2014-2015 crosstrek hybrid, 2014-2015 Forester and 2015 wrx vehicles, all equipped with continuously variable transmissions (cvts) due to consumer complaints. I bought my car used in September 2017. I was never informed that there were potential problems with transmission performance and failures. A transmission failure on a highway could result in injury or death. And yet there has been no recall. I have already started to notice problems with the transmission- jerking while trying to brake and delayed turnover between 2 and 3rd gear. Consumers were not informed of this I found it online. I called the dealer and they verified that there was a warranty extension on the models above and my car is included. When I asked for paperwork the dealer service rep said none was sent to anyone, but the warranty follows the vehicle by VIN #. So, there are potentially thousands of people driving around with transmissions that could fail, but who are unaware. Subaru did this quietly to not drawn attention to the problem. I think there should be an investigation and a recall. Transmission failure on a highway could cause injury or death. Again I feel "jerking" every time I try to break. It's like the car is trying to accelerate instead of coming to a stop. It has stopped so far, but what if it doesn't next time? this problem is constant. I thought it was due to cold but I always warm up my car until the indicator light shows transmission is warm. And the weather has been warm for a few days now and the same thing is happening. I have reported other problems to the dealer that are not safety related and they just blow it off such as the computer is not recording average mpg and average mph correctly. Joan 215-444-9054.

In 2007 I bought a new Subaru Forester. The transmission jumps & snaps while changing gears. Sometimes the whole car is jolted by the transmission snapping into gear. This problem just doesn't happen when the car is cold, but also happens while highway driving & changing speeds. It often takes too long for my vehicle to change gears. I have reported this problem to the service dept. At two different Subaru dealerships. They claim they checked my transmission & found no problems. This is a safety issue I am concerned about. I fear my transmission may fail at a crucial time.
