Description of the problem	While driving my wife noticed a loss of power to the car on her way to work and luckily didn't get rear ended but after a bit the car drove normally. About two weeks later driving on the highway the car started to rattle at normal highway speeds but only while car veered left and not on normal city speeds. Took the car in and was told that the transmission is the issue and has to be replaced which i have no choice but to replace and avoid something more serious. I have looked up this issue and found that there are a lot of complaints regarding transmission issues with some people having very close calls. There was an extension to the warranty provided by subaru but problem has coincidentally started after the warranty ended. Even though i got lucky and nothing happened to the vehicle or anyone i still think this is a serious issue that should be addressed before something worse happens to someone. Subaru seems to have known there was an issue and instead of doing something they offered a limited extended warranty that expired before the true problem began to occur.
