| Description of the problem | Our ascent started having a squeal and rpm jump around 6000 miles. The car would only makes this noise on acceleration and would cause the car to lock up until the chain/belt would reseat and the rpm return to normal. It throws no warning codes but happens randomly but several times when it does happen. Was told it was a transmission issue, but subaru has replaced some and they are doing same thing. They told me to drive it like it is and service department was to file a claim with subaru to try to get them to initiate a fix from the subaru engineers. Totally not safe to drive at 65-70 and then it stalls out before it fixes itself. |
