Subaru is I believe currently the only major manufacturer who does not have a Class Action suit about their CVT. They started with CVT’s in 1989 and the current Lineartronic box has a steel belt , generally the most durable designs. I hear that they are not serviced, just replaced, but wouldn’t know: we haven’t bought a CVT car yet.

But 2013 3.6R didn’t have one? It had a 5 speed automatic made by Jatco. Jatco 5R05 transmission. Covered on warranty?

It was used in Legacy and Outback turbos and six cylinders from 2003 to 2014 and a bunch of Nissans. Bad luck for you: they are generally “bulletproof.” Our 2006 3.0R has one with 230,000 miles, including extensive towing.
