Less than 1 week later, 2nd occurrence: while driving on interstate, all warning lights came on and vehicle suddenly lost forward movement. Vehicle was running but not engaging enough to propel vehicle. Towed to dealer, dealer repaired pilot pin in transmission.
The automatic transmission does not engage often causing a jerking motion of the car which is undiagnosed for the past 3 years. Subaru extended the transmission warranty for one year. I want it fixed. My wife and I have complained since the car was new (2016 model).
