Description of the problem	This letter is to document an incident that occurred on 6/27/19 at approx. 2 pm est in danbury, ct on i84. I was proceeding west on i84 in my 2014 subaru crosstrek when the vehicle suffered a catastrophic internal failure of the continuously variable transmission (cvt) assembly, resulting in the loss of wheel rotation (wheels locking up) which lasted for almost 2 seconds. I was able to maintain control of the vehicle and, while almost struck by a tractor-trailer that was following me in the center lane, was able to exit the highway. The vehicle was towed to colonial subaru in danbury, ct where it was diagnosed with a complete internal failure of the transmission requiring a replacement. I then discovered that the failure of the transmission on this vehicle was a known issue, the subject of a warranty extension by subaru of america (https://tinyurl. Com/y9bozwgd) and that my vehicle was one of the affected vehicles. My concern is that given the severe consequence when this failure occurs, this should be the subject of a factory recall, to prevent a catastrophic loss of wheel rotation and subsequent loss of vehicle control. This is what occurred in my experience. If i were a less experienced driver it a high probable that a loss of vehicle control would have occurred. Traveling down a major, crowded interstate with a car that suffered a severe engineering failure could have led to roadway fatalities. I request that nhtsa open an investigation into subaru of america
