Consumer Description

"TAKATA RECALL" THE TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING AT AROUND 105K. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY SUBARU AND AFTER TALKING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE OWING TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS OVER 100K MILES. THEY GAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR VEHICLES BUT ONLY UP TO 100K. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACTUAL RECALL AND NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. ITS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT SUBARU IS AWARE OF.
