Transmission Failure problems of the 2015 Subaru Crosstrek

2015 Crosstrek xr - concurrent with complaint #11396151 as a Subaru owner who experienced the safety issue expressed in the above-referenced complaint, I am also an attorney with mass tort (defense) experience, and would like to know: 1) why a safety recall has not been issued when multiple complaints of the same failure and manifesting results have been documented with the NHTSA, as they appear to meet the elements for a recall set forth in NHTSA publications. ; 2) if the NHTSA gave Subaru a �pass� by not issuing a recall because perhaps (?) Subaru countered with but for the gov's model federal fuel efficiency standards having gone into effect in 2012 it would not have begun equipping its vehicles with cvts to meet those fuel efficiency standards. I. E. , did Subaru claim or did the NHTSA believe that the use of cvts was urged by the NHTSA, and approved by the NHTSA, and therefore the NHTSA is partly responsible/liable for any safety issues and occurrences, and perhaps chose to overlook the safety concerns? (not saying this is the case- I'm asking if it is the case. ) 3) were there accidents that occurred because of this issue, and did any of those cause injuries or deaths have resulted from such issues that were not reported to the NHTSA. (considering the possibility that when one sees a mangled vehicle they usually do not think, �let's take apart the transmission to see if it failed� as well as considering that the letter owners received from Subaru said the warranty was being extended for �customer satisfaction� and that there were �no safety concerns� leading people to believe there were, in fact, no safety concerns (despite complaints showing on this nthsa complaint site?) 4) to what extent has nthsa investigated these incidents? (of transmission failures abruptly stopping vehicles in the middle of expressways at 60-80 mph? thank you.
