| Description of the problem | The cvt transmission failed while traveling at a high speed down the interstate with no warning. After doing further research subaru is very aware of this cvt issues and has taken a very poor and limited approach to stand behind and fix this issue. They told me at the dealership that i was on my own to pay for the repair and it was a 10k fix. |
