Description of the problem	Cvt appears to be faulty. While driving, rpms will jump up by 1-2k, stay at that level for a second or two, then drop down. When it drops, car will shudder or accelerate. Occassionally a screeching or grinding noise is heard. This has happened multiple times, but is not predictable. It has happened on the highway at speeds if 65 and above; and it has happened on city roads at speeds of 30. It sometimes happens multiple times in one trip; or it may go a week between events. Dealership has been unable to replicate it, says if they can't replicate it then the "best case scenario" for a diagnosis is for the transmission to fail and for us to be stranded. A internet search for "subaru ascent transmission problems" reveals that this is a rare problem, but seems to disproportionately affect ascents built in august of 2018. Subaru allegedly is replacing these transmissions once problem is diagnosed, but if it's a known problem then they should replace them all proactively.
