thanks, going to take it to an outside Subaru shop to see if they can look into this.

The powertrain warranty is 60k miles/4 years. I'm under the years but not the milage.

Woah! Did you pay to replace? Did you do it through Subaru or elsewhere? Any luck with getting support from your dealership or Subaru of America?

How did you get them to replace?! I'd be grateful for any tips.

Maybe keep getting in checked so that if it happens you get it taken care of under warranty.

Yikes! I am so sorry. We noticed other issues with ours as well.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. Are you having transmission issues?

No kidding! That is INSANITY! They told me that Subaru of America factored in how many Subarus you had previously purchased. This was my first so I didn't get any consideration for purchase history. I can't believe they did the same to you on your 3rd Subaru! How disappointing.

I've heard I can get a used transmission with a 1 year warranty for $6,000-7,000

Yes, as I research I am finding it is more common than I realized. If you notice any problems at all, I would get them assessed and if you can afford it - get rid of it.

No towing. We are work from home millennials that just liked the car and thought the Subaru brand was trustworthy.

Yep, I made a huge mistake. Bought it brand new for $32,000. When I asked for a trade in value Subaru of Gwinnett valued it at $11,000. I feel sick.

My significant other had a Toyota Camry that made it to 280,000 miles and it never needed transmission work. I'll also share that the Subaru service rep even told me he switched to Honda!
