| Description of the problem | The transmission (cvt) is bad (per 2 mechanics who have reviewed) makes whining noises and can cause car to stall. There are many reports of this already online. Subaru extended their warranty because they know this is a problem, but indicated that they will not cover my car (2. 5 months after the extended warranty.) this will cost about $5,000 to fix. This is a known problem by subaru and so the 2012 subaru outback needs to be recalled before someone get hurt, please. |
