2017 Subaru Forester 4dr SUV
turbocharged 250hp 2.0L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 26000 mi | Leak was noticed from transmission pan during normal oil change maintenance. Persisted between changes so they scheduled a time and replaced the gasket under warranty |

CVT failed. Replaced under Subaru 100k CVT extended coverage. |
| 4000 mi | S# transmission mode kept engine revs well below torque peak, which made no sense given S# mode is "performance mode". |
| 7000 mi | Transmission pan leaking. Dealer made adjustment under warranty. |
