    How many miles on your CVT? Any Issues?

    in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )

    Posted

    Not quite 110k on my 2011 Legacy 2i. Needs a brand new transmission. Solenoid issues. All recommended maintenance done at dealer the whole time. 7500$ repair.

     

    This was the second car from them. First car had some growling noise in the front end and they said it was a bad transmission which was replaced under warranty. It went away for a while then came back a week later. They then replaced the car. Now the new one's got shuddering and the AT Oil Temp light is on and is basically undriveable.

     

    NOT impressed with Subaru "quality" given I was expecting somewhere around 200k out of this. Not even 4 years old and it's currently worthless.

     

    I will probably never buy another Subaru after this. Two cars, and three transmissions???

     

    My advice? don't give up on the subaru name completely. Stop buying the same car with the first gen CVT. Subaru manual transmissions have a pretty great track record, even the older traditional automatics are pretty bulletproof. It's sad that you've had so many issues, and I understand you're frustration, but try picking up a legacy that's manual, or step back to a 4th gen if you want an auto. I'm sure your faith in subaru would be restored :)

    No plans to ever sell the car. I hope to have 500k miles on it or more before my kids take away my drivers license somewhere around 2060 when I am really old. Lol!

     

    With regard to my build thread, I should have started it almost 2 years ago when I bought the car, but in some ways glad I didn't. Im a little OCD when it comes to organization, ergo the by-month posts, so I am setting it up a little more like a clear, concise, chronological history of my mod path with easy to find info. Im not looking for a lot of open discussion in the thread like so many other build threads, but more like a place that members can go to see how I have transformed the car over my years of ownership without having to pour through 45 pages of banter to find useful info. If you like what I have posted, please "thank" the posts so I know if it has been helpful to you. And please subscribe, so you can be notified of the continuing process and updates.

     

    I think this is great!! It would make an awesome sticky thread where new members are able to come and see all of the stuff you've done, without

    having to sift through all of the random comments in the thread. Plus your organization would be very helpful for a DIY job.

    Show off your 5th Gen's aftermarket wheels!!

    If you ever get a new suspension setup let me know and I can help you install it! Or anything else! I keep seeing your car around and I like what you did with the gt rims :)

     

    Thanks! Yeah it wasn't quite the look I was going for but it's kinda color matched and works out. I may have to take you up on that offer as I'm looking to upgrade suspension later this summer!
