2011 SUBARU OUTBACK with 94467.0 miles

I have been reporting problems with my transmission since 2012 to my regular dealership, star Subaru when the car had just 23,472 miles on it. At this point, i believe that i have been wrongfully denied warranty coverage. Then again, in 2017, while still under warranty, i brought my Outback to star Subaru complaining that while driving slow, the car tends to 'jump' mid-drive, almost like someone rear ended you. The car at this point was at about 94,467 miles, under the 100,000 mile warranty limit. After numerous complaints i finally received a test drive with a Subaru mechanic at star Subaru in bayside, queens, ny. He concluded that it needed transmission parts, a torque converter/valve body. At that point i was set to have it replaced once the parts came in. Weeks went by and i heard nothing. I contacted Subaru of america who was able to set me up with east hills Subaru. The soa person was very helpful with the transition. They performed their own diagnostic, and the condition at the time would not replicate. Unfortunately, when this 'jump/slam' happens, it does spontaneously. We cannot make it happen, nor do we even know when it is going to happen. It was always very sporadic. Sometimes it would happen on the highway going 65, or sometimes less than 5mph. On a long trip back from vermont, there would be a large revving sound, and then it felt as if someone hit us from behind. Once again, i took the car to Subaru, only to be told they simply couldn't 'replicate the problem', and therefore would not do anything to help us. On april 3rd 2019, i bring my car in again to east hill Subaru. Check engine light on. They do recall. They also troubleshoot the check engine code, which now comes up clearly as P1710 torque converter turbine 2 speed signal circuit malfunction. Now it's not covered under warranty.The price tag is very high, almost $6,000!

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER with 101033. miles

On 08/15/14, i was pumping gas and as i was leaving i noticed that the Pathfinder's transmission would hesitate and shift hard. As i drove home, i noticed that it did the same thing after every stop. It wouldn't run as it usually did. Then i noticed that the "service engine soon" light came on. My boyfriend then went to aamco transmission total car care but was told to go at 9:30 a.M. The following day. We took it the next day, which was 08/16/14 and we received a diagnostic. The multi-point check revealed that the transmission fluid level was okay and the condition was contaminated. There is coolant contamination in the transmission. A computer scan revealed the following codes: P1710 trans oil temp, P1764 direct clutch solenoid valve circuit fault, P1731 first gear engine breaking logic error. The manager then told me that the 2005-2007 Nissan Pathfinders had this defect. When my mother called Nissan at the 1-800 number, she was told they couldn't do anything about this problem. The Pathfinder is paid off, as of this year, only to have it sit in the garage until i get it fixed. This is ridiculous! Needless to say, we were never informed of any of the 5 recalls.
