Description of the problem	My transmission failed at 120k miles. Subaru reimbursed me for a replacement which failed 9k miles later. I replaced that one out of my own pocket with a used transmission with only 35k miles on it. The third transmission failed while my wife and i were in the fast lane on a major freeway. We had to navigate across traffic with absolutely zero acceleration. Subaru claims that their transmissions do not put their customers in danger, but i am on my fourth transmission and the last one almost caused us to get into an accident with a tractor-trailer.
