Description of the problem	There have been repeated and reoccurring issues related to oil consumption as well as a faulty cvt transmission. Subaru has issued an extended 100,000 mile warranty, but this information was not provided directly to me. I found out about the extended warranty when i took the car in to a mechanic and they had knowledge of the extended warranty. The mechanic recommended i take it to a subaru service center to try and get it covered under warranty. The car had 94,000 miles at the time i was made aware of this on 6/22/18. Since 6/22/18-11/2/19, i have repeatedly had reoccurring issues with both oil consumption and the cvt transmission. The service department has claimed to have repaired issues, but i have never had resolve of any of them. Instead i feel as though i have been told each item has been repaired. If similar issues have occurred, like the oil light illuminating after the short block replacement, i been given the explanation that it is due to software issues that need updating. These excuses have been given repeatedly until the 12 month warranty of the parts in question has then passed. This same thing has occurred with the slipping cvt transmission that i reported on 6/22/18, and now i am being told the transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $8,000 out of pocket. The car is not even valued at $8,000 anymore. I would strongly advise research into these faulty parts and the consumer deceit that has occurred to myself and millions of other subaru owners. Deceiving consumers until extended warranty periods pass, and requiring consumers to pay out of pocket should be illegal. I see now why subaru opted for this extended warranty for both of these issues rather than admitting fault and providing a recall. This allows the deceit and subaru taking financial responsibility of repairs to occur by looping in the service department into this scam. Do not buysubaru

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
