Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION GOING TO FAIL VERY SOON -- I HAVE CONSTANT AND SEVERE TRANSMISSION BINDING WHEN I MAKE A TURN FROM A 0 - 5 MPH START. THE TRANSMISSION IS SELF-DESTRUCTING. I'VE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE INSUFFICIENT FILTRATION AND COOLING BY SEVERAL SUBARU TECHNICIANS. A DESIGN FLAW IF YOU ASK ME. WHY IS IT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE LAGACY ALREADY ( SAME 4EAT TRANSMISSION) BUT NOT FOR THE SVX ?!?!?! $2,000 FIXES DO NOT EXACTLY FIT INTO MY BUDGET. NOT TRYING TO BE DISRESPECTFUL -- JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY US SVX OWNERS ARE BEING BASICALLY "IGNORED". *AK
