Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the Subaru Crosstrek have CVT problems?
- Subaru's Lineartronic CVT has a better reliability track record than Nissan's CVT, but long-term reliability at 100,000+ miles is still unproven for many owners. CVT replacement costs $4,000–$6,500, making extended coverage a prudent choice.
- Does Athena cover Subaru's EyeSight system?
- Yes. EyeSight camera calibration, sensor failures, and related electronics are covered under Athena's Deluxe and New Car Coverage plans. These repairs can run $500–$1,500 or more at a Subaru dealership.
- What Crosstrek model years are eligible for Athena coverage?
- Most Subaru Crosstrek model years with a clean title and under 150,000 miles at enrollment are eligible, including first and second generation models. Contact us for a specific eligibility check.
