| Description of the problem | The randomly stalls when trying to accelerate after coming to a complete stop. This has happened on numerous occasions, and has left me and my son stalled in the middle of an intersection on a few occasions. On one occassion, we were almost hit by a car entering the intersection. In addition to this, the at oil lights up whenever traveling longer distances. The mechanic has said the car has a failing transmission. I contacted soa due to the the extended warranty they have on the vehicle. The car meets the 10 year time-frame of the extended warranty but they will not honor the extension because of the miles which were 132,000. I just bought the car put maybe $1000 miles on it before the transmission started giving us problems. There is a documented issue with the subaru 2011 cvt that requires a recall, not an extended warranty. Look all of the internet on customers having their cvt transmission fail at just over 100,000 miles and being stuck with $7000 repair bills. |
