Description of the problem | I took the car into paul moak subaru on 10/14. The car was bucking under light acceleration. When pulling thru a stop light, or moving from a stopped position, the car kicks back and forth and i don't know if its going to keep going or stall. No check engine light. Paul moak subaru says " this is due to an internal failure of the cvt transmission and the repair estimate is $9,319. 59." this is almost the same as what i owe on the car. I knew of the extended warranty subaru provided for the transmission but i'm outside the mileage portion. I reached out to subaru north america on 10/27/20 but they say they can not help me due to the mileage. I drive approx 750 miles a week on a sales route thus the high mileage. 90 % of the miles are highway and are documented for tax purposes. I love my subaru but cant believe i'm going to have to spend so much money on a 5 year old car. I have a family of 4 and am scared to take them in the car in this condition. I have to drive it in this condition until i can save the money it's going to cost to repair the transmission. Subaru should issue a recall on this transmission. |
