What owners wrote
To start off I have an extended warranty on my vehicle felt my clutch starting to shift they told me I needed a new clutch flywheel and throttle bearing. Took it to a independent repair shop. They replaced the throttle bearing which was completely warped clutch was good but replaced anyway because at that point why not the entire transmission was out. Called subaru nothing was done. Also just got into an accident vehicle was totaled and my airbags did not inflate.
The problem I am about to describe has been intermittent for the past 3 years but recently has become consistent. The dealership has been unable to duplicate/locate the malfunction up until now. I would like to add that the concern was apparent while the vehicle was still under warranty. When driving the vehicle the transmission bucks and thumps with unreliable acceleration and a feeling of being pushed forward.
