Could the Subaru Ascent transmission have any problems?
Years 2018-2025

Answer

The Subaru Ascent transmission is unfortunately notorious for having a reliability problem. Specifically, the anomaly concerns a chain that is part of the gearbox, which tends to wear out quickly and break, potentially causing serious damage to the entire transmission. At the moment no definitive solution to the problem is known, the only thing to do is to carry out constant and targeted maintenance of the entire element and to replace the relative oil much more frequently than suggested by the parent company.
