Was driving at 60 mph normal highway speed and bunch of lights came on the dash while driving. Trouble codes pulled on scan tool were p2764 and p0700, these codes indicated bad solenoid on cvt transmission valve body therefore had to replace the cvt valve body. Car has 146,000 miles however cvt has been properly maintained and cvt fluid replaced every 30,000. Subaru is hiding the issues with the cvt model tr-580 and purposely extending the warranty only up to 100,000. I believe they know the cvt will fail after 100k and don't want to put out the money to issue a proper recall. The options to fix the issue are either cvt valve body replacement or full transmission replacement which are both very costly. Subaru needs to issue a proper recall because I worry that my replacement of valve body could mean I still need to replace the entire cvt transmission if something else fails on the internals in the near future.

Diagnosing the check engine light reveals code p2764, which indicates the transmission control valve body needs to be replaced due to a faulty solenoid. This is a known issue with Subaru's cvt transmission, which is why Subaru extended the warranty for this issue. However, the warranty only covers vehicles with a demonstrable problem. My car just developed the problem, and is no longer covered by the warranty (23,000 miles over the limit). This is a potentially dangerous issue (affected cars may stall at any time), which affects many vehicles still on the road. Subaru should have to replace all of the parts before they fail! you should already have a number of other complaints about this issue.
