While traveling on a busy interstate. My car suddenly jerked as if I had put into neutral. I was traveling approximately 65 mph. Nearly causing an accident trying to get off the highway. It would not engage in manual or automatic mode. After having it towed to a mechanics shop, it was discovered that the cvt transmission had failed, without warning. This could have resulted in a very serious accident if I would not have been able to get to the shoulder of the road.

At about 76,000 miles, very occasionally, the car hesitated before engaging in drive. The problem started occurring more often recently, and now at 82,000, according to a Subaru dealer, the transmission apparently needs to be replaced. I am trying a "flush" before replacing the transmission. I believe Subaru should warranty their transmissions for more than 60,000 miles or recall the part in the transmission that fails.
