Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2010 SUBARU OUTBACK TO MY DEALER TO HAVE MY FRONT BRAKES CHECKED. IT FELT LIKE THEY WERE GRABBING, AND I WANTED TO CHECK THE WEAR. THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES, CLEANED THEM UP, AND STATED THEY WERE AT NORMAL WEAR FOR 35,000 MILES. IN THE NEXT BREATH, THEY STATED I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN EXACT REASON WHY MY TWO YEAR OLD CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE A CVT AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER WAS VERY VAGUE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED. THEY STATED IT WAS THE FIRST ONE THEY'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO. *KB
