The following letter has been sent to subaru of america.... This letter is sent on the behalf of the many owners that have experienced multiple failures of the 4eat automatic transmission in the subaru svx. It is evident that there is a design flaw in the transmission that causes the premature failures for all model years. These failures have occurred in cars with very low mileage and continued to occur thereafter. Repair and/or replacment of the transmission is very expensive, costing approximately and, as of this date, there has been no support from subaru. Understandably, the owners of these vehicles have become quite angry at subaru's lack of response or acknowledgement that a problem even exists, and have consulted legal counsel regarding a class action lawsuit. To avoid an unpleasant and hostile situation, and in an effort to maintain good relations with the owners of your cars, the following solutions are demanded: 1. Subaru recalls and replaces the transmissions for all model years 2. Extends the transmission warranty to 100,000 miles for all model years unless a written response is received within 30 days, litigation will be instituted. Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation. *ak
