| Description of the problem | The problem i am about to describe has been intermittent for the past 3 years but recently has become consistent. The dealership has been unable to duplicate/locate the malfunction up until now. I would like to add that the concern was apparent while the vehicle was still under warranty. When driving the vehicle the transmission bucks and thumps with unreliable acceleration and a feeling of being pushed forward. After a mile or 2, the check engine light turn on, abs, traction and hill stop assist lights all turn on at which time the vehicle's performance is noticeably reduced especially at highway speeds. The engine rpm seems much higher and fuel mileage becomes terribly reduced. A diagnostic trouble code of p2764 sets in the transmission and the safety braking/stability systems become disabled. If what i researched this is a horribly common problem. My vehicle is out of warranty (even the extended warranty subaru offered). The dealership wants $1700 to repair this malfunction which has been diagnosed as a cvt transmission valve controller malfunction. It is my opinion that this malfunction should be recalled rather than a simple warranty extension especially considering the fact that the safety/stability systems become disabled and the vehicle's emissions/fuel mileage is dramatically effected. |
