2016 SUBARU FORESTER with 157161. miles

Cvt codes P0700 and P2764 came on. The dealership said that it needs a whole new transmission as fixing just the torque converter will not fix the issue. All warning lights came on and none of the safety features will work. The car was doing this from a starting point and stayed on no matter speed. Seems to be a known issue with cvt...$7,731.00 to replace

2013 SUBARU IMPREZA with 124450. miles

The problem i am about to describe has been intermittent for the past 3 years but recently has become consistent. The dealership has been unable to duplicate/locate the malfunction up until now. I would like to add that the concern was apparent while the vehicle was still under warranty. When driving the vehicle the transmission bucks and thumps with unreliable acceleration and a feeling of being pushed forward. After a mile or 2, the check engine light turn on, abs, traction and hill stop assist lights all turn on at which time the vehicle's performance is noticeably reduced especially at highway speeds. The engine rpm seems much higher and fuel mileage becomes terribly reduced. A diagnostic trouble code of P2764 sets in the transmission and the safety braking/stability systems become disabled. If what i researched this is a horribly common problem. My vehicle is out of warranty (even the extended warranty Subaru offered). The dealership wants $1700 to repair this malfunction which has been diagnosed as a cvt transmission valve controller malfunction. It is my opinion that this malfunction should be recalled rather than a simple warranty extension especially considering the fact that the safety/stability systems become disabled and the vehicle's emissions/fuel mileage is dramatically effected.

2013 SUBARU IMPREZA with 123500. miles

Diagnosing the check engine light reveals code P2764, which indicates the transmission control valve body needs to be replaced due to a faulty solenoid. This is a known issue with Subaru's cvt transmission, which is why Subaru extended the warranty for this issue. However, the warranty only covers vehicles with a demonstrable problem. My car just developed the problem, and is no longer covered by the warranty (23,000 miles over the limit). This is a potentially dangerous issue (affected cars may stall at any time), which affects many vehicles still on the road. Subaru should have to replace all of the parts before they fail! You should already have a number of other complaints about this issue.

2013 SUBARU IMPREZA

Was driving on i-70 in colorado going 60-65 mph uphill when all indicator lights came on and at (automatic transition) oil temp light began flashing. Check engine, hill assist, abs, and traction control lights all came on steady on. Had to pull over and had significant power loss during driving. Googled what at oil temp light meant and called a tow truck to take to my mechanic. Mechanic initially indicated it could be valve body problem which in his words is a "known issue with Subaru cvt engines." code pulled was P2764. They ended up pulling the pan and draining fluid and found excessive metal built up on magnet in pan. This pan and headgasket were repaired less than 6k miles ago (october 2020) and at that time they said everything was in good shape so something drastic happened to cvt in less than a year. Mechanic unable to say what caused the excessive buildup in that time. Safety compromised as left on side of very busy highway waiting for tow - we were also concerned with whether or not car would overheat/catch on fire due to at oil being over 200 degrees. Problem confirmed by our mechanic and indicated that we need a full transmission replacement. No other warnings prior to this event. Maintenance is current and in 2018 performed recall service indicated by Subaru for valve spring issue.

2012 SUBARU OUTBACK with 102000. miles

Vehicle shutters and stalls when braking on a city street, especially in colder weather (i first noticed this in the winter of 2018). On sept. 13, 2020, the vehicle violently lurched forward as i pulled out on a city street at lower speeds. After this occurred, the check engine light, oil temp, traction control light, and brake light came on on the dash. Diagnostic showed a P0700 and P2764 error codes indicating a need for a valve body replacement. Service bulletin 16-107-17r indicated that when replacing the valve body a newly designed part should be used because the old part does not work as well. When i called subraru, they discouraged me from replacing the valve body with the originally designed part even if it was brand new. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle without this repair and i feel that because subraru has a newly designed valve body part to address this issue, that this issue is not the result of normal wear and tear but should be a considered a recall instead.

2012 SUBARU IMPREZA with 146358. miles

Was driving at 60 mph normal highway speed and bunch of lights came on the dash while driving. Trouble codes pulled on scan tool were P2764 and P0700, these codes indicated bad solenoid on cvt transmission valve body therefore had to replace the cvt valve body. Car has 146,000 miles however cvt has been properly maintained and cvt fluid replaced every 30,000. Subaru is hiding the issues with the cvt model tr-580 and purposely extending the warranty only up to 100,000. I believe they know the cvt will fail after 100k and don't want to put out the money to issue a proper recall. The options to fix the issue are either cvt valve body replacement or full transmission replacement which are both very costly. Subaru needs to issue a proper recall because i worry that my replacement of valve body could mean i still need to replace the entire cvt transmission if something else fails on the internals in the near future.

2012 SUBARU IMPREZA with 105000. miles

While driving my vehicle, a few of the dashboard lights lit, engine oil, abs, at, mil, vehicle dynamics. When i arrived home, the diagnostic tool revealed a P0700 and P2764 codes. Unfortunately the warranty does not cover the issue because is over 100000 miles. The issue as per my research is well known to Subaru. Now the repair is going to cost me $2500.00

Torque converter judder. Recommended torque converter replacement after the back up duty solenoid malfunction. Car was towed to dealer after the at oil temp light as flashing while driving. Dealer said to not drive it and have it towed. Code P2764 was retrieved and solenoid was replaced. After test driving during the inspection, technician felt shuttering at 40mph and recommended replacing consistent with tsb 16-90-13r.
