problem #2

Sep 192019

Forester 2.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 106,500 miles

Subaru extended the warranty on the cvt transmission due to the large amount of customers having issues. They did themselves a favor by stopping warranty at 100,000 miles. They already knew the problem happens just over that mileage mark. I suggest anyone who owns a car with cvt transmissions should do like Subaru is doing by passing the problem on to someone else. Dedication, responsibility and reliability is not SUBARU JAPAN.

Forester 2.5I 2.5L 4 cyl

  • CVT transmission
  • 76,879 miles

Subaru knows there is a problem with these and won't stand behind it. I have been driving for 50 yrs and this is the most I have ever spent to have a car fixed. I bought it brand new so I know its been taken well care of. Don't buy a Subaru.
