| Description of the problem | Subaru outback 2010 with cvt transmission bought new. Numerous failures. The transmission first failed due to a solenoid open circuit that disabled the car. Code p2762 ( last week in march, about 2,600 miles). That was fixed. After this event the transmission would on occasion disengage while still on drive. While driving slowly and after applying brakes to stop at a stop sign. The gas pedal would be depressed, the engine would roar but the car would not move. The transmission would re-engage after shifting to neutral or park and back to drive. The first time this event was reported to the subaru dealer a number of codes came up; c0057, c0045, c0231, c0232, c0282. Subaru told the dealer to erase the codes and re-program the software. This event has occurred three times since then (last week of july 2010, about 9,000 miles). The next time was last week in august, about 10,200 miles. Since the software was re-programmed no codes appear even though the events are identical. This event happened again in december 2010. I brought the car to the dealer (1/27/11). No codes were found. Dealer says that if there are no codes and they cannot reproduce the event then it does not exist as far as they are concerned. The event occurred again in early february 2010. To be stopped at an intersection and press the gas pedal while the car is on drive with nothing happening other then high engine revs is a dangerous situation. Consider being in a left turn situation. We have no sympathy from subaru. |
