2013 Subaru LEGACY Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The transmission valve body failed on this subaru legacy at 83874 miles. This caused the vehicle to stall and three engine lights came on. This was covered under an extended warranty as this is a known problem with this car. I have three complaints / concerns where i believe the consumer is now on the hook for the manufacturer's problem. I am told the new valve body is identical to the old and will fail again. The dealer also told me the transmission fluid must be replaced every 30000 miles, not the 100000 miles in the owners manual. This is at a current cost of $413. 00; also - i had to pay today $413. 00 to replace the fluid, which is not covered by the extended warranty, even though dirty fluid is the cause of the failure. This issue affects many subarus and should be on a permanent recall repair list at subaru's expense for the servicable life of the car, or a recall where the valve body is replaced by one that will not fail again. No one should be required to perform a $413. 00 fluid change every 30000 miles.
