Consumer Description
WIFE WAS DRIVING CAR WITH NEWBORN SON WHEN SHE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP BECAUSE SOMEONE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES IN FRONT OF HER SO SHE DID AND THE CAR STALLED AND STOPPED ON HER NEARLY AVOIDING BEING REAR ENDED. ON OTHER OCCASIONS SHE WOULD STOP ON A HILL AND THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND COME TO A STOP AND DIE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY OF THESE VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. ESPECIALLY WHEN SUBARU BOASTS ABOUT HOW THIS TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY MAINTENANCE FREE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR WHAT A JOKE RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES
