Another update ... New torque converter and car still doing the same thing. Dealer has offered to replace the transmission, refund our money or we can exchange it for another car on his lot. The dealer has been nothing but nice during this process and soon we will decide what to do next. I have found a youtube video of what the car is doing. It does it every minute or so while driving 35-50mph. The car seems to skip when it does it. Will update again soon, Thanks for listening, Peter

Update. The dealer called me yesterday. They had to order a seal for the torque converter. I am not sure what that seal is but he said it was flattened out so it is being replaced. So far he is replacing the torque converter and the seal that he had to order. We will be trying the car after we get it back and if there is still an issue it will be going back to the dealer. We have a 90 day warranty on it so he said he will “make it right”. I am disappointed in Subaru for not covering the warranty, especially with the car having 97000 miles but I guess you have to cut the warranty off somewhere. Will keep you posted. Thanks, Peter

My dealer told me the date was September 19, 2019 that the warranty ran out on the car. He contacted Subaru and attempted to get them to replace the transmission. My dealer wanted them to replace it because if it is still a problem he will be liable for the repairs. We are the third owners of this car, maybe that had something to do with the denial. Will post more as I get it. Thanks Peter

Dealer contacted Subaru of America, they are not covering transmission even though car has under 100k in mileage. Car was manufactured Sept 18,2009. I understand that point of it, but not happy. Dealer ordered new torque converter form local area Subaru dealer and will replace free of charge. I am hoping this is the issue. Dealer spoke with 2 Subaru technicians and was told that was the problem with the squeaking sound while driving. Fingers are crossed . Will keep you posted. Thanks, Peter

Thank you everyone !! I have discussed this with the dealer and will keep you posted. I am looking to have it all replaced. I have a 90 day warranty on the car as well as (hopefully) the Subaru warranty. Fingers are crossed, should know something in a day or so. Thank you again, Peter

Thank you for the responses. No leaks, I am thinking CVT as the transmission is now squeaking, maybe once a minute while driving at 35-45 mph. I am calling the dealer today, it should be covered by my regular warranty and if not the Subaru warranty. Will keep all of you posted. Thank you !!! Peter

Hi, I am a proud 2015 Legacy 3.6r owner and recently bought my son a 2010 Legacy 2.5 premium automatic with 97000 miles. Something strange happened to my son yesterday. He was stopped at a stop sign and when he went to drive he stepped on the accelerator and nothing happened. The engine did not rev nor did the car move forward. Instead the car started to roll backwards. He also told me that the anti skid indicator on the middle of his instrument panel lit up. He said he was in drive and only could get the car to move after putting it into park, turning the car off, then restarting the car. It drove home fine after that. I took the car out and could not duplicate the trouble. Has this happened to any of you before? Any ideas that I can relay to the dealer? I appreciate any info you can relay to me. Thanks, Peter
