Description of the problem	After 7 years of diligent care of my 2012 outback, my transmission is failing. This is a known issue in my make and model. This will cost me $7k out of pocket to replace. Subaru claims to have 'quality as our highest priority', but did not address this known issue and have put the burden on their customers. This is my third subaru, and it would be nice if the company stood behind their work and supported their customers
