Our 2017 Subaru 3.6 Outback's transmission failed and no one has given us a specific reason yet of why. Do this happen frequently with CVT Transmissions?

Failed CVY Transmission - 2017 Subaru 3.6 Outback

2 Answers

CVT's are problematic. Subaru knows this and extended the warranty out to 100,000 miles. Next time change the transmission fluid even if they say it is lifetime.

Hi. I have subaru outback 2017 3.6r. How can I check transmission fluid level? I can't find a dipstick.
