My Car Broke Down - America's Longest Road Trip
Help support the channel: buymeacoffee.com/mattmaderic
This one isn't my favorite episode. I wish it was better news and something fun, but this is the reality of long road trips and living in your car. My car is having some issues with either the transmission or exhaust system, or they're unrelated and are both having issues. I'm not sure how long this will take to sort out, but I'm hoping for a quick repair and that I can get on the road to continue my trip north. Thanks for watching, and hopefully next week I'll have some good updates for you!

    Hej Dude. I find it terribly irresponsible that you're driving on the highway at over 60 mph, with your left leg curled up on the seat, almost under you. That is not a good position to be in. If anything happens, it will happen in a blinding flash, and you, being "so chill and relaxed" will be caught out and you could die. Be a responsible driver, be alert, be seated correctly and be in control, with two hands on the steering wheel. Wake up and Live.

    Can guarantee you this is not your CVT. And you keep saying Subaru has transmission issues at these miles is false. #1 have you ever had your transmission serviced whisked should be every 60k? Some were faulty but Subaru made the correction and they have been very reliable as long as you do normal maintenance. I am now on my 3rd Outback and both before well over 200k all original equipment no issue have 21 now with over 100k no issues. I make sure to due all recommended maintenance. I hope your outback is ok and yes Subaru of America will cover if it is a faulty transmission which I don’t think it is. Best Bro fyi also in SoCal. Do not go to Subaru Pacific they well scam you on cost.

    Maybe the exhaust or the catalytic converter is clogged. That can create back pressure and that can explain the transmission problems. It makes more difficult to change gears.

    I'm so sorry about your car. Maybe if you show Subaru your videos and how the videos are as much about the car as it is you, they may cover the transmission under warranty as a favor in return for the positive free publicity on the car. Just a thought. I nearly bought a Subaru Outback but went for a 4Runner instead.
