Transmission Failure problems of the 2014 Subaru Forester

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.

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.
