I own a subaru svx. They are known to have transmission problems. They are also a very rare car. Out of the two other people that I know that have these cars, all of them have had these transmission problems. I do believe that the manufacturer should do something about these problems with there faulty transmissions, instead of me having to find a way to come up with more then what I paid for the car.

Pulled out from a traffic light felt like car was slipping on ice. Svx travelled about a mile before it would not go anymore(in any gear). Managed to pull off of a 4 lane highway. Was 15 miles from home. I had to have the car towed back home. My local subaru mechanic said the transmission apparently had been worked on before. Where its still in the driveway awaiting repair.

I have a 1995 subaru svx and as many svx owners the transmission on this vehicle is defective. The cooling system for the transmission is defective, therefore the transmission overheats and is damaged. This involves all svx's made which requires all svx owners to spend $4000 for subaru's manufactured defect. It should be subaru's responsibility to refund the repairs.
