My son owns a 2014 Subaru WRX with a manual transmission. On 25 Nov 2019 he was driving on 501 towards lititz/lancaster pa when his third gear decided to destroy itself while driving @ 45mph. I have read about so MA Y of these manual transmissions destroying themselves under normal driving conditions. That car is his pride & joy until this happened. He purchased the car in Maryland. Watching a rebuild on youtube after his phone call it seems that this is a common problem in any helicut gears. Lousy materials used. Being around cars, street & hi performance rides all my life I have never heard of a manual transmission destroy itself while driving at normal/highway speeds. Either Subaru manufactures it's vehicles to have issues such a lousy gear box's or they are buying trash from lousy vendors. High performance american, german, french, italian & other Japanese cars with manual transmissions do not have this issue. It should be a recall issue. Submit a question to all Subaru owners with manual transmissions to see how MA Y of them lost gears in them. No accident had happened only because my son is a level headed person with good common sense for a 24 year old this 3 Dec.

Was told that my car might have a recall on the valve spring, took it in they said the valve spring was bad but that my car was not included in the recall and I had to pay 2200. Not sure why my car which is the exact year for the recall and was actually having the issues caused by the bad valve would not be included in the recall.

I am filing a complaint for my Subaru as the transmission is failing. I was unaware of this and never even notified of an issue or an extended warranty. My safety is at risk as the vehicle is not operating as it should and I was told by Subaru that they only had an extended warranty which I am out of and basically too bad our known issue is not Subaru responsibility once you hit a 100,000 miles. How is a known stalling issue due to a transmision failure in a vehicle not a safety issue and a recall"???? who is responsible for there not being a recall" I need to know so that if and when my safety or any others is compromised god forbid anyone is hurt or critically injured, due to this known problem, which has not been recalled, who I will sue.

I parked the car on the side of the road on a large pull out area. I put the car in reverse, turned the off and took the keys out of the ignition and got out of the car to take some pictures of the fall colors. I was out of the car for about 3 to 5 minutes and I look back to see the car rolling down the slope in to a truck that was parked in the same area. When I got back into the car the transmission was in neutral. The hood and front bumper was damaged.
