Description of the problem	Intermittent dash lights flashing on my subaru 2012 outback, prompted me to take the car in for diagnosis. Subaru is notorious for dash lights flashing when there might be an issue. Brought car in but they could not find issue in about 3 instances. I did the flashing lights reset, but came back on. When lights flash, many other car functions cease, such as cruise control, manual gear function goes inop, etc. Plus flashing lights disguise other issues that may be going on as well (such as brakes), plus very scary in itself. Historically, i am tracking that subaru has had many issues with this and no time or reason of what could cause these problems or even a solution from them. Subaru finally said i have cvt issue with the torque piece it cause this to slow down in the car and concerned that the whole transmission will go out decide to give them a call trying to get the issue resolve but was told i was out of the warranty!. There was a letter send to me that extended from 60k miles to 100k just recently, but subaru said my car just missed the warrant work/recall by 4k miles which i think is quite concerning since it has been identified as an issue (recall). Does the issue stop at 100k?
