THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET HAS BROKEN ALMOST COMPLETELY IN HALF. IF DRIVING WAS TO BE CONTINUED, THE BRAKES WOULD FAIL TO OPERATE. THIS HAPPENS AFTER REPEATED USE OF THE CLUTCH.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2015 WITH OVER 100,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING IT I BEGAN TO HEAR A CLICK EVERY TIME I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL. I LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IF THERE WAS AN EASY FIX TO IT. TURNS OUT SIX OF THE SEVEN SPOT WELDS THAT HOLD MY CLUTCH AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO THE FIREWALL WERE CRACKED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ALREADY BUT THEY WONT SERVICE VEHICLES PAST 40,000 MILES.THIS DOES NOT HELP ME SEEING AS THE CAR IS FAR PAST 40,000. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS ALSO CAUSING OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR TO PREMATURELY WEAR OUT SUCH AS THE CLUTCH AND THE RELEASE BEARING. I NEED HELP.

THE CLUTCH PEDAL ON MY 2009 WRX MAKES A LOUD CREAKING NOISE EVERY TIME IT'S DEPRESSED. WHEN I INVESTIGATED THE NOISE, I NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET ASSEMBLY (ATTACHED TO THE FORWARD FIREWALL) SHIFTS APPROX 1/4 INCH EVERY TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. I FOUND THAT THE THREE SPOT WELDS SECURING THE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET TO THE FORWARD FIREWALL WERE BROKEN. FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE FIREWALL, JUST UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, I SAW THE SPOT WELDS PULLING AWAY FROM THE FIREWALL EVERY TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS ALLOWS THE ENTIRE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET ASSEMBLY TO MOVE, CAUSING THE CREAKING NOISE. IF THE BRACKET COMPLETELY SEPARATES FROM THE FIREWALL, THE CLUTCH MAY BECOME COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE - ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. I EVENTUALLY FIXED IT MYSELF WITH A CUSTOM MADE BRACE AND SOME BOLTS. UPDATED 12/21/2015*JS

MANY PEOPLE WITH SUBARU WRX AND STI MODEL CARS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPOT WELDS THAT HOLD THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THESE SPOT WELDS HAVE A TENDENCY TO BRAKE OFF AND LEAVE THE CAR INOPPERABLE BECAUSE ONCE THOSE SPOT WELDS BRAKE OFF YOU CANT PUSH IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO PUT IT IN GEAR. ONE OF THE EARLY SYMPTOMS I HAD IN MY CAR WAS A SQUEAKY CLUTCH PEDAL. MANY PEOPLE IN THE SUBARU COMMUNITY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THERES EVIDENCE OF THIS ON YOUTUBE AND MANY SUBARU FORUMS LIKE NASIOC.COM . WE NEED HELP GETTING THIS FIX, SUBARU OF AMERICA HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS ABOUT THIS DEFECT BUT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO PAY 1000-2000 DOLLARS OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE SUBARU DOESNT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE, PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE OVER THE YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADJUSTED THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE NOISE CAME BACK SHORTLY AFTER SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. ONCE AGAIN, THE NOISE CAME BACK, BUT THIS TIME IT WAS WORSE THAN EVER. THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THE CLUTCH PEDAL MOUNT HAS HAD ALL WELDS FAIL THAT ATTACH IT TO THE FIREWALL. SUBARU NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS AS IT SEEMS MANY OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE.

CLUTCH STARTED MAKING A CREAKING NOISE WHEN PRESSING IN AND OUT. SHIFTING GEARS HAS ALSO BECOME MORE DIFFICULT LIKE THE CLUTCH ISN'T FULLY ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING. I ALSO NOTICED THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY SHIFTS (CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS) WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE CLUTCH. TURNS OUT THE SPOT WELDS ON THE BRACKET THAT HOLD THE ASSEMBLY ARE COMPLETELY BROKEN, CAUSING FLEX TO THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY. IF THAT BRACKET RIPS OFF, COULD LOSE BRAKING POWER. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

THE CLUTCH PEDAL ON MY 2008 WRX MAKES A CREAKING AND POPPING NOISE WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED/RELEASED. I AM NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN MAKING THIS NOISE, AND ORIGINALLY I HAD THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. AFTER READING SOME FORUMS ONLINE, I BEGAN TO SUSPECT THAT THE SPOT WELDS ON THE FIREWALL WERE BROKEN. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. I CALLED SUBARU OF AMERICA TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND TRY TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE, HE INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND REQUESTED THAT I TAKE THE CAR IN TO A DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM THAT THIS WAS INDEED THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY SPOT WELDS WERE BROKEN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE FIREWALL IS FLEXING EVERY TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS ENGAGED. THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVES TO THE LEFT DUE TO THE WAY THE FIREWALL FLEXES WHEN THE PEDAL IS ENGAGED. IF THE CLUTCH PEDAL BRACKET ASSEMBLY SEPARATES FROM THE FIREWALL ENTIRELY, THIS COULD CAUSE THE CLUTCH TO BECOME INOPERABLE, WHICH COULD BE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN USE.

THE WELDS SUPPORTING THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAVE BROKEN. THE RESULT IS A PROMINENT SQUEAKING SOUND AND A NOTICEABLE LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY TO THE LEFT. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE AS IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED BACK IN JUNE OF 2014. AT THE TIME SUBARU OF AMERICA AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. THE NEW ISSUE ARE FROM BROKEN WELDS IN ANOTHER AREA THAT WAS NOT INSPECTED OR DID NOT APPEAR TO NEED REPAIR AT THE TIME. MILEAGE AT TIME OF REPAIR WAS 74,839, CURRENT MILEAGE IS 84,420 (3/16/2015). HOWEVER, FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE INDICATE THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED MANY OTHER SUBARU IMPREZA OWNERS WITH MODEL YEARS 2008 THROUGH 20012. THIS IS NOT THE RESULT OF OWNER NEGLECT, MISUSE, OR IMPROPER MAINTENANCE. MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THIS DOES APPEAR TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE FUNCTIONALITY OF CLUTCH PEDAL AND BRAKES UNDER ALL NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. FULL BREAKAGE OF THE ASSEMBLY COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, INJURY, AND OR DEATH. ORIGINAL CLAIM TO SOA WAS #[XXX], REPRESENTED BY RICH.

THE PART OF THE STEEL BODY UNDER THE DASH THAT SUPPORTS THE CLUTCH PEDAL SHAFT ASSEMBLY FRACTURES INTO TWO PIECES DUE TO FLEX FORCES OVER TIME. THIS RESULTS IN THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FLEXING AT ITS MOUNTING POINT ON THE FIREWALL WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. SEVERED SQUEAKING AND NOISE IS HEARD EVERY TIME THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED AS A RESULT. WELDING IS NOT FEASIBLE AS IT IS LOCATED UN THE DASH (ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL) AND WOULD CAUSE FIRE AROUND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. THIS CAN BE SEEN ON YOUTUBE VIDEOS SUBMITTED BY SUBARU WRX OWNERS AND AFFECTS 2008-2014 WRX IMPREZA VEHICLES. SHOULD FIREWALL FRACTURE DUE TO THIS FLEX OVER TIME, ABILITY TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH BY PRESSING THE PEDAL WOULD RESULT AND PRESENT A VERY HIGH PROBABILITY OF CRASH OR ACCIDENT AS A LACK OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND ABILITY TO STOP VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2008 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX WITH A STOCK CLUTCH. FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN HEARING CREAKING AND/OR CLICKING NOISES WHEN ENGAGING THE CLUTCH PEDAL. BEGAN TO LOOK ONLINE FOR A SOLUTION AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE SPOT WELDS THAT BREAK BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE MOUNTING BRACKET THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED TO (HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/?GWS_RD=SSL#Q=WRX+SPOT+WELDS). I REMOVED THE NECESSARY ITEMS TO INSPECT THE WELDS AND THEY DID UNFORTUNATELY FAIL.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A SUBARU DEALERSHIP FOR ALL MAINTENANCE SERVICES. THEY ADVISED ME TO REPLACE MY CLUTCH. I PAID FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THE NOISE IS FROM A CRACKED FIREWALL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAVE TO SEND THE CAR AWAY TO BE RE WELDED AND IT WILL COST 1,900 DOLLARS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CRACKED FIREWALL ISSUE BECAUSE MY CLUTCH HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO TELL ME THIS. I AM ALSO EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I PAID 2,100 DOLLARS FOR A NEW CLUTCH WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE WHICH WAS THE NOISE FROM A CRACKED FIREWALL. I AM ALSO EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT THEIR ANSWER IS TO RE WELD. IF IT WERE TO BE RE WELDED THEN IT WILL CRACK AGAIN. IF I GOOGLE FIREWALL ISSUE WRX, THE RESULT COMES UP WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

LOUD CLICKING/CRACKING NOISE STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN THE CLUTCH IS LET OUT. DID NOT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. IN NOVEMBER OF 2014, THE CLICKING STOPPED AND WAS LEFT WITH AN EERIE SQUEAKING SOUND. THIS IS WHEN I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IT IS. TURNS OUT, THE FIREWALL IS TOO THIN TO HANDLE THE PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE/CLUTCH MECHANISM. THE PINS THAT GO THROUGH THE FIREWALL GET WORN AWAY FROM THE THIN FIREWALL CAUSING THE SPOT WELDS TO FAIL. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A SUBARU DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS THE SPOT WELDS. I AM WAITING TO HEAR MORE FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA TO SEE IF THEY WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS IN FACT A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND NOT SOMETHING THAT IS CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IF THAT WAS THE CASE THERE WOULD NOT BE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IF THERE ARE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS HERE, HOW MANY CARS ARE OUT THERE WITH DRIVERS THAT ARE OBLIVIOUS TO THIS DEFECT THAT ARE STILL DRIVING WITH BRAKES/CLUTCH THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME? *TR

2008 WRX, 61K MILES DRIVEN SINCE SEPTEMBER 2007. SECOND CLUTCH REPLACEMENT AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE (KIRKLAND, WA) THAT THE SPOT WELDS FOR THE CLUTCH NEED WORK DONE BY BODY SHOP - ABOUT $1200. WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE CLUTCH BUT THE CLUTCH WAS ALMOST ALWAYS HEAVY IN THE CAR. IT FIRST BECAME HEAVY 1-3 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED AND ABOUT THE SAME TIME AFTER THE CLUTCH WAS FIRST REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THE CLUTCH COULD GET WORN IN A FEW YEARS, BUT BODY STRUCTURE LETTING GO IS NOT SOMETHING I'D EXPECT TO HAPPEN IN A 7 YEAR OLD CAR. I SEE MANY SIMILAR REPORTS AT HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2008/SUBARU/IMPREZA/STRUCTURE/PROBLEM.ASPX. SOUNDS LIKE A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUE TO ME. *TR
