Do you have any personal experience with a Subaru CVT transmission, slipping or breaking?
See the quote from the owner's manual that Chris Bryant posted.
The TFL vidoes on the Subaru show their going into limp mode attempting Gold Mine Hill. There's plenty of anecdotal info you can find with a quick search. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jensen/2017/07/07/facing-complaints-subaru-offers-extended-warranties-on-1-5-million-vehicles/#1c1504c879dc
Did you actually read this article and my post? I said I have a 2019 which the article you provided doesn't come close, only up to 2015 issues. Then the company extended the warranty for those folks. Mine has a 5yr/100,000 mi warranty on the drive train. I think the issue is covered my friend and though you were correct that there have been issues, that ended 4 model years ago so then you make it sound that they are all bad. Thanks for your help but not only does a little searching help as you mentioned, so does paying attention
