I had my CVT replaced in our 2012 Impreza a couple of months ago with 52K miles. Long time SUBARU owner and this came as a shock to us. Anyway it was covered under warrantee so that was good. I do hope the new CVT lasts longer than another 52K miles. Our original 1999 Forester is still running strong with all of its original parts except normal replacement items. (~200k miles) Thanks for the post, I have been hoping the number of people having problems is small. What did it cost to have the bearing replaced? I have notice cost is a major concern with these CVTs

I'm glad to hear that Subaru has an updated style bearing and hope that we are now good to go for another 100K. Thanks orndog and FLlegacy for the information.

Hello everyone. I wanted to jump in a say we have been a Subaru family for 17 years. The very first Subaru we bought is still being driven by our Son in law. There are seven Subaru’s in our immediate family. All has been great until my 2012 Impreza commuter car’s CVT quit working. Luckily for me the Impreza was still under warrantee, it had 52K miles. The local dealer replaced the CVT and for now everything is fine. 1. I’m wondering if this is going to be a reoccurring problem every 50-60K. 2. Could putting the CVT in natural to coast (trying to stretch gas mileage) caused part of our problem? Thanks.
