POWER TRAIN
ON AUGUST 14, 2017, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SWIFTLY SHIFT DOWN AND COMPLETELY SEIZED, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE LEFT SHOULDER. THIS WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK AFTER OUR ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED FOR FREE (THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT DIDN'T ISSUE A RECALL - WHY? THEY TOLD US THAT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH 2010 AND 2013 IMPREZA TRANSMISSIONS BUT WE HAD TO ASK THEM ABOUT A FUNNY SOUND, NO ONE NOTIFIED US). THE CAR IS NOW WAITING FOR ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION BUT IT MUST BE A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE 2 WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE STILL ON BACKORDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUBARU IMPREZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V419000 (AIR BAGS) AT CAPITALAND MOTORS SUBARU (47 SARATOGA RD, SCOTIA, NY 12302 (518) 399-9999) OR GOLDSTEIN SUBARU (1754 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, NY 12205 (518) 869-1250), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY SERVICED PER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WITH ~54,000 MILES ON IT IN AUGUST 2016. OVER THE LAST YEAR, I'VE NOTICED AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE OCCUPANT AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SOMETIMES, WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHETHER ON A HIGHWAY OR ON A SIDE STREET, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER WILL COME ON- MEANING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FLUKE SO I TOOK THE WAIT AND SEE APPROACH. THIS PAST SPRING, THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING MORE, SO I'VE SINCE STARTED DOCUMENTING THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. I NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS MORE WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DAMP, WHETHER IT IS BECAUSE I'M DRIVING IN A HOT AND HUMID LOCATION, OR PASSENGER HAS DAMP CLOTHES DUE TO COMING BACK FROM THE BEACH OR RIVER, EXERCISING, OR JUST BEING PLAIN WARM & SWEATY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER 2012 IMPREZAS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT MY CAR, WHICH I BELIEVE HAS THE SAME SENSORS AS THE RECALLED ONES FOR THE 2012 IMPREZA, IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL.

I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN, WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG SUBARU IMPREZAS. I THINK THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS ALARMING, GIVEN THAT THE AIR BAG MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A PASSENGER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR SWITCHED FROM ON TO OFF. I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN PROBABLY 35 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65MPH) AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. I WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME, CHANGING LANES AS I PREPARED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE LIGHTS BEHAVED AS EXPECTED BUT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF TO FIX.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2014 SUBARU HAS LESS THEN 21,000 MILES AND THE FRONT BRAKES STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CALIPERS WERE BINDING UP DUE TO RUST, PRESUMABLY FROM ROAD SALT. MY CAR SPENT 2 WINTERS IN UTAH AND THE REMAINDER OF ITS SHORT 3 YEAR LIFE IN THE CALIFORNIA BAY AREA. I CONTACTED SUBARU CUSTOMER SUPPORT ABOUT THIS AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS 6 MONTHS OUTSIDE ITS 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY, THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. BRAKE CALIPERS SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING AT 21,000 MILES AND SHOULD LAST CLOSER TO 100,000 MILES. I BELEIVE THESE CALIPERS ARE DEFECTIVE AND A SAFETY HAZARD. SUBARU HAD TO RECALL 660,000 VEHICLES DUE TO RUST AFFECTING THEIR BRAKE LINES (HTTPS://WWW.NYTIMES.COM/2014/07/04/AUTOMOBILES/SUBARU-RECALLS-660000-VEHICLES-FOR-BRAKE-LINE-CORROSION.HTML?MCUBZ=3) AND I BELEIVE THAT THIS PROBLEM ALSO EXTEND TO THEIR BRAKE CALIPERS AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE. I THINK THE NHTSA NEEDS TO EXOAND THE SUBARU RECALL. I MENTIONED THIS RUST RELATED BRAKE RECALL TO SUBARU SUPPORT AND THEY REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN MY ISSUE AND THE RECALLS THEY HAVE HAD.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 SUBARU IMPREZA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V016000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE OCCUPANT WEIGHT SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN THE PASSENGER IS DAMP (COMING BACK FROM THE BEACH) AND WITH UNKNOWN ORIGIN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER 2012 IMPREZAS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR DOES NOT ADJUST FAR ENOUGH OUT TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE BLIND SPOTS. ALL OTHER VEHICLES THAT I'VE DRIVEN ALLOW THE SIDE-VIEW MIRROR TO ADJUST OUTWARDS FAR ENOUGH THAT THE BLINDSPOT IS COMPLETELY ELIMINATED. THE IMPREZA MIRROR ADJUSTS OUT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AND THEN "BOUNCES" BECAUSE IT HAS REACHED IT'S LIMIT. THIS LIMIT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO ELIMINATE THE BLINDSPOT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UNDER COLD CONDITIONS (40F OR LESS) THE RUBBER FUEL RAILS WILL CONTRACT UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND WILL SLOWLY LEAK GASOLINE CAUSING AN OVERWHELMING SMELL AND POSSIBILITY FOR A FIRE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS BOTH STATIONARY AND UNDER MOTION. THIS PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE YEAR 2009 FOR THE 2002-2003 YEAR MODELS FOR THE SUBARU IMPREZA WRX AND A RECALL WAS ENACTED. HOWEVER, THIS RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2004-2005 MODELS EVEN THOUGH THE SAME ENGINE WITH THE SAME FUEL RAILS WERE USED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSISTENT AND PREDICTABLE FOR THE 3 WINTERS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR CAR THAT THEY ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE PICTURES I INCLUDED SHOW THE SCREW THAT CLAMPS THE RUBBER HOSES. THE GAS LEAKS AT THIS CONNECTING POINT BUT IT WAS HARD TO GET A PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL HOSES. I HAVE CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA AND THEY DIRECTED ME TO BRING THIS UP WITH NHTSA. THANK YOU!

THE SRS SENSOR WAS LIGHTING UP AND THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN TO SWITCH TO OFF EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SWITCH HAS GONE BACK AND NEEDS REPLACED. LUCKILY THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE $100 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS THE SAME SRS SWITCH USED IN THE 2012 SUBARU IMPREZA THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE MONTHS AGO THAT MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE AIRBAG RECALL. THE NOTICE STATES THAT CURRENTLY, PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AND THAT SUBARU IS IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING PARTS NECESSARY TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. I AM STILL WAITING TO SEE WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. ANY IDEA WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED A 2017 SUBARU IMPREZA LIMITED ON 7.30.17 FROM BOB BARKER SUBARU IN CARLSBAD, CA. THE CAR, UNTIL YESTERDAY, HAD APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON 8.9.17 AT 1830 MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND HIS FRIEND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR WAS STRUCK ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE BY A FORD FUSION ENTERING THE INTERSECTION AFTER THE SIGNAL HAD CHANGED. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS UNBELIEVEABLE!! MY SON REPORTS THAT THE SMELL OF SMOKE CAUSED HIM TO AWAKEN AND SCRAMBLE, WITH HIS FRIEND, FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND REACH SAFETY BEFORE THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A FRONTAL COLLISION ON A SIDE STREET CAN CAUSE A CAR TO BURST INTO AN INFERNO. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CAR'S DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR IN A RATHER ORDINARY COLLISION. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE OR SIGNIFICANT MORBIDITY, BUT FUTURE DRIVERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DIRECT YOU TO THE TOWING COMPANY THAT HAS THE CAR SO YOU CAN INVESTIGATE.

SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED AND FRACTURED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEGAN BOUNCING UNCONTROLLABLY, AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN MOVING AND VIBRATING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT FORCED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V464000 (SUSPENSION) WAS ALREADY INSPECTED ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000. ..UPDATED 10/25/17 *BF CONSUMER STATED FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM CORRODED IN EXACT SPOT THAT WAS INSPECTED DURING RECALL. THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL TEST IS INCONSISTENT WAY TO INSPECT VEHICLES. THE RUST PROOF COATING APPLIED WAS INEFFECTIVE IF AT ALL APPLIED. UPDATED 10/4/18*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RADIO CONTROLS "FROZE" BEFORE I EVEN DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER'S LOT. COULD NOT SELECT AF OR FM. SATELLITE RADIO, HOWEVER, WORKED. FIX WAS EITHER TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY OR REMOVE AND REINSERT A FUZE. DEALER MECHANIC SHOWED ME HOW TO USE THE FUZE METHOD. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR 5-10 MINUTES. I DID NOT TEST TO SEE IF OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WERE IMPACTED AS WELL.

CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER HITTING THE GAS AND AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. COASTING TO A RED LIGHT STOP DOWNHILL, WHEN I START TO MAKE LEFT TURN INTO TRAFFIC CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL FOR 2-4 SECONDS AND WHEN IT STARTS MOVING IT FEELS LIKE ITS IN A HIGH GEAR BUCKING LIKE A MANUEL TRANSMISSION. IT IS A CVT . LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION ALMOST TO GET HIT BY A TRUCK, LUCKILY IT SWERVED TO AVOID ME. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. ENCLOSED IS A PICTURE OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE
