2020 Subaru Forester 4dr SUV

182-horsepower 2.5L H4 7-speed shiftable CVT AWD

11000 mi Went in for an oil change. While I noticed a noise similar to a cv joint I wasn’t prepared to leave it for this. The mechanic came out about 30 minutes later and informed us that the noise was related to the transmission and that they had ordered a replacement. Sent me home with a loaner vehicle. They received the transmission and installed it the next morning under warranty.
