Transmission failed backing out of driveway causing car to stall in street. It had to be manually pushed out of potential danger. No forwarning of failure, the car was running in a normal manor when the failure occured. It was fortunate that there was no traffic when the incident happened or that it did not happen on the expressway.
Constant problem with transmission. Had to be replaced with low original miles on it. Rear bearing failed. 4 times on rear pass side, 1 time on rear driver side. All fail at low miles on car. Under 60k, all highway miles
Transmission failed at 95,000 miles while vehicle was in use, caused safety hazard.

I don't know how many times the transmission has been worked on. Mechanic said there were signs of previous work, some of it botched up.

Transmission and differential failed with very low mileage for such major failures.
Fixes are known for these problems, I feel subaru of america should pick-up the tab! The transmission shift problem was present in the re-manufactured transmission from day-1. It is my understanding that several problems exist in the 92-93 trannys all of which have fixes! As for the wheel bearing issue, the original bearings started failing at about 60k the replacements last about 1 year and then become noisy. From 60k I have had 8 bearings replaced. This procedure cost the customer about $330.00 per bearing replacement. I hope something can be done.

Subaru tranny's failing left and right. Just look through your database
Automatic transmission leaks due a bad seal that is on the transmission. The leak is on top af the catalytic converter which causes fumes and vapors inside the vehicle. The dealer has been contacted and up graded the seal, but it is still defective.
The following letter has been sent to subaru of america.... This letter is sent on the behalf of the many owners that have experienced multiple failures of the 4eat automatic transmission in the subaru svx. It is evident that there is a design flaw in the transmission that causes the premature failures for all model years. These failures have occurred in cars with very low mileage and continued to occur thereafter. Repair and/or replacment of the transmission is very expensive, costing approximately and, as of this date, there has been no support from subaru. Understandably, the owners of these vehicles have become quite angry at subaru's lack of response or acknowledgement that a problem even exists, and have consulted legal counsel regarding a class action lawsuit. To avoid an unpleasant and hostile situation, and in an effort to maintain good relations with the owners of your cars, the following solutions are demanded: 1. Subaru recalls and replaces the transmissions for all model years 2. Extends the transmission warranty to 100,000 miles for all model years unless a written response is received within 30 days, litigation will be instituted. Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation.
Transmission would make clunking noises whenever it is shifting into overdrive. Taking vehicle to dealer to check.

Transmission started slipping in third to forth then started slipping into third. Now has only first and second gears operating. Have seen numerous complaints regarding this transmission in svxs including numerous factory tsb's for known problems. The local dealer states this is a known problem and it is not unusual for many transmission replacements in same vehicle. Manufacturer has obviously inadequately designed and released this part and should be forced to recall and repair with known factory fixes.
