The most common problem with the 2013 Subaru Impreza CVT transmission are usually caused by problems with the belts or the gears. A CVT is a newer type of transmission and they are a bit more complex than a standard automatic transmission. CVT transmissions are continuously variable, meaning that they do not have gears, they are constantly trying to match the ratio from the transmission to the ratio from the engine to keep it as fuel efficient as possible. This sounds like a good idea in theory, but they are also more fragile in the real world. Due to the complex nature of the CVT there are also not as many shops that are able to repair them. Usually You will need to replace the entire thing if it breaks.
