One problem related to transmission noise has been reported for the 2010 Subaru Legacy. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2010 Subaru Legacy based on all problems reported for the 2010 Legacy.
While driving the car, it frequently jolts, makes a screeching noise and it is scary because it also feels as though it may simply turn off. I have contacted the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle and I was informed that Subaru is aware of the issue and that they would likely take care of repairing the transmission ($7,000). However, Subaru has contacted me with the offer to pay only $2,500 of the total amount of the repair. My major concern is that Subaru recalled these (cvt) transmissions, beginning with 2012 models; however, they are aware that the problem also exists in the 2010 outback and Legacy, both of which my husband and I own and drive, respectively.
