| Description of the problem | My car is stalling very dangerously due to a faulty transmission that subary acknowledged is defective in its public release from 1/6/2014 subject-"design change to lock up type torque converter." while it extended the warranty for this problem, i no longer qualify because my mileage was exceeded by a few thousands. I can not afford the repair which is estimated at around $4400 and this is my only vehicle i own and need it for work. Driving the car is very dangerous because it stalls in unpredictable situations. I was almost rear ended a few days ago and i am very concerned about my safety. The subaru dealer is refusing to make the repair even though the problem is widespread, widely reported and conceded by the company. I have no where to turn and i ask you for help to get subaru agree to fix my car under the terms of the extended warranty. Thank you very much |
