Transmission Failure problems of the 2014 Subaru Crosstrek

Driving on the freeway at 135,961 miles, just 5 months after pulling the car off a used lot. All dash lights are illuminated, vehicle encounters loss of acceleration and I pulled to the shoulder. I attempt to restart vehicle, and lights return to normal, and I attempt to make my way home. Lights are illuminated once again, but I do not have loss of acceleration this time. Take it to be serviced, lh front axle failed, needs replaced, engine block has considerable oil leak, valve body replacement required (covered under warranty thank goodness). 4 months later after car seems to be in repaired and working order, the same issue again, this time the rh front axle is replaced, although no engine leak, the service tech is no letting me know that on their test drive after they replaced the axle the transmission failed and will now need to be replaced. I can not afford the cvt replacement at $8000 fix. The car has now been sitting in my driveway as I attempt to find money for the repairs.

I backed out of my driveway, into the road. When I drove away, no faster that 25 mph, I noticed that all the warning lights on my dash were illuminated. Alarmed, I promptly returned my car to the driveway and shut it off. I had traveled no further than 100 yards. Wondering if maybe it was a fluke, I tried to turn the car on again, but the car was completely unresponsive. I called aaa to have it towed to the dealership. Aaa's diagnostic codes were: p0851, p0705, p0700. Online research showed that these relate to the transmission. Further searches brought up a forbes article about Subaru's choice to extend warrantees on known transmission problems instead issuing a recall--so as to save money. When I asked Subaru service about the codes, they called them "phantom codes"--however I noted that the repair work was covered under warrantee--indicating it related to the transmission--hardly a "phantom". I am fortunate to have been so close to home when my transmission failed--to have not been on a remote road trip with my kids where there's no cell service, or driving through a sketchy neighborhood on my way home from work, or trying to get my husband to the er with anaphylaxis from a bee sting (all real scenarios I've been in, thankfully with a functioning car). When Subaru chooses to let cars fail for a known problem and rely on extended warrantees instead of recalling them before they fail, there are a myriad life-threatening potentialities. Anything less than a recall is negligence on the part of Subaru.
