Description of the problem	We were never notified of a extended warranty on the cvt of our outback. We took it to subaru dealerships for maintance and they failed to tell us about the cvt going bad causing damage to the transmission. When we contacted subaru corporate they told us there was nothing they could do. Now we have had the car looked at when it was under the mileage because it was showing signs of the cvt going bad and the dealership was negligent in letting us know of the problem. Now we feel our vehicle is unsafe to drive and subaru is not willing to fix the problem they knew about. When we fill our tank up at the gas station the break, traction, cruise control lights will blink and the cruise control will stop working while the lights are blinking. We took the car to derrel waltrup dealership in nashvillle tennessee, subaru of nashville and subaru of gallitan tn. All three dealerships ageed that the issue with our car is due to the cvt warrenty issue. We are the only owners of this subaru and have taken great care of it. We want subaru to stand behind their product and fix the defect so that we can continue to be safe in our car.
