POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN COLD TEMPERATURES, MOST OFTEN DURING COLD STARTS, THE VEHICLE'S CABIN FILLS WITH THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 15 TO 30 MINUTES FOR ODOR TO GO AWAY. DURING THAT TIME AT STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS, ETC THE SMELL OF GASOLINE PERSISTS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON COLD STARTING THE CAR THERE IS A PROMINENT RAW FUEL SMELL. IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE ARE SUB-FREEZING. THE LOWER THE TEMPERATURE THE WORSE THE FUEL SMELL BECOMES. AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP THE FUEL SMELL GOES AWAY. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM SUBARU HAD WITH IT'S 02-03 IMPREZAS, WHICH THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE FUEL LINES, WHICH WERE TOO SHORT AND IN THE COLD WOULD SHRINK FURTHER CAUSING A LEAK UNTIL THE CAR WARMED UP. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE SUBARU OF AMERICA DENIES THE ISSUE EXISTS AND IS CHARGING AROUND $400 AT THE DEALERSHIP TO SWAP OUT THE FUEL LINES. *TR

2008 SUBARU IMPREZA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AFTER PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HER HUSBAND ADJUSTED HIS PANT LEG, IT CAUSED HIM TO PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN THAT HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE LET OUT A LOUD SHUDDERING AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. ALL THE LIGHTS STAYED ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY DID FIND A VALVE WAS LEAKING OIL, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS IS A 2011 WRX WAGON. THE CLUTCH HAD BEGUN TO SLIP A LITTLE BIT A FEW DAYS EARLIER, WITH SOME SLIGHT REVVING. I WAS GOING UP A HILL ON A NARROW ROAD, AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AND NO STREET LIGHTS. THE CLUTCH SUDDENLY GAVE WAY AND THE MOTOR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE THE CAR. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO ROLL BACK ENOUGH TO GET AS CLOSE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS POSSIBLE. THE FIRST TIME THE CLUTCH GAVE WAY WAS ABOUT 18 MONTHS EARLIER, 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW CAR. THE CLUTCH IS DEFECTIVE ON THESE CARS. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN MANUAL CARS FOR 30 YEARS, AND HAD 2 GO TO OVER 100,000 MILES ON THE SAME CLUTCH. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ON A HIGHWAY. I CALLED THE POLICE TO "PROTECT" ME FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I NOW WANT TO TRADE IN MY CAR FOR A SAFER AND MORE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE HEATER IS ON THE SMELL OF BURNT OIL WHICH BECOMES WORSE WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, VALVE COVER GASKETS LEAK ON TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING MANY PARTS NEED TO BE REMOVED TO GAIN ACCESS WHICH IN RESULT CAUSES A VERY EXPENSIVE BILL. *TR

MY CLUTCH BRACKET BROKE ON THE WELDS. THIS IS AN OEM PRODUCT THAT HAS A DEFECT AND IT IS WELL KNOWN ON THE INTERNET AND FORUMS. SUBARU OF NEWTON NJ REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WAS WELL AWARE. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME SINCE IT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. THE BRACKET IS BROKEN AND THE CLUTCH WILL NOT ENGAGE. I HAVE NOTICED THE FIREWALL IS CRACKING ALSO. THE BRAKE PEDAL MOVES INCHES TO THE SIDE WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SUBARU AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 73K MILES ON IT. I ALSO FILLED WITH SUBARU AND I AM AWAITING ANSWERS. *TR

MY 2008 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX HAS HAD A "HARD CLUTCH PEDAL". IM AN AUTO TECH AT A DEALER SO I TOOK A LOOK AT IT. I CHECKED THE SPRING AND THE PEDAL. I FOUND THE PEDAL WOULD BEND THE MOUNTING LOCATION UNDER THE DASH WHEN PUSHED IN. I LOOKED ON THE FIREWALL UNDER MY WIPER ARMS WHERE THE WELDS ARE AT. THE WELD THAT HOLDS THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS TO THE FIREWALL IS CRACKED AND NOW IS CUTTING A HOLE IN THE FIREWALL. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR SOME HELP WITH THE PROBLEM, AND I FOUND OUT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER. THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEEDED A CLUTCH. I ASK THEM TO LOOK AT THE FIREWALL WELDS THAT HOLD THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS TO THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO GO AWAY AND NOT BRING MY CAR BACK TO THEM! I CALLED SUBARU OF AMERICA AFTER THIS ALL HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. SO I DID TO ONE " 3 HOURS AWAY ". THE NEXT DEALER TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WELD IS CRACKED ON THE FIREWALL, AND THEY CALLED SUBARU OF AMERICA (SOA.) SOA NEVER CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND WAITED. THEY CALLED ME 5 DAYS LATER AND TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1/2 OF THE BILL TO FIX THE OEM DEFECT ON THE FIREWALL WELDS. I FEEL AS THOUGH THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT IS CLEAR THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEOS AND PICTURES SHOWING THE DEFECTIVE WELDS AND CAN PRODUCE THEM FOR YOU. I NOTICED THIS ISSUE AROUND 58000 MILES. VEHICLE NOW HAS 60500 MILES. *TR UPDATED 02/19/13

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON EXTREMELY COLD MORNINGS +/-0 DEGREES MY 2005 SUBARU IMPREZA RS HAS SUCH A STRONG FUEL SMELL THAT YOU CAN NOT USE THE HEAT SINCE YOU CAN'T TURN ON THE VENTS. IF YOU TURN THE VENTS ON THE SMELL IS SO INTENSE THAT YOU GET LIGHTHEADED AND SICK. YOU CAN SMELL THE FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE THE ENGINE AREA AND FUEL MILEAGE IS SO MUCH LOWER THAT YOU KNOW THAT IT IS LEAKING FUEL. CALLED SUBARU AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITHOUT CHARGING AND DID WARN OF THE POTENTIAL OF THE CAR CATCHING ON FIRE FROM THE FUEL LEAK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWICE, SO I FEEL IT'S NECESSARY TO REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA. THE FIRST TIME THIS ISSUE WAS HAPPENING, I WAS FOLLOWING ANOTHER CAR GOING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL AT ABOUT 30MPH. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WAS 35MPH SO I FELT LIKE I WAS CONSTANTLY SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THROTTLE AND BRAKE, BUT NOT SO QUICKLY AS TO PRESS THEM AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURED, THERE WERE THREE SOLID YELLOW/ORANGE/GOLD (DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT COLORS) LIGHTS LIT UP SOLIDLY IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER: THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE ABS LIGHT, AND THE HILL HOLD ASSIST LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 FEET AWAY. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO GO AWAY BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN NOTHING WORKED I FINALLY JUST CYCLED THE IGNITION OFF THEN BACK ON. ALL THREE MAGICALLY WENT AWAY BY DOING THIS. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO AND I WAS LITERALLY JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ON A LEVEL SURFACE. MY HOUSE IS RECESSED INTO THE GROUND ABOUT 10 FEET FROM THE TOP OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHERE THE TOP IS ACTUALLY LEVEL AND IT IS WHERE I WAS SITTING AT. SITTING THERE, I REVVED MY ENGINE AND SLOWLY ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY (IN NEUTRAL, SO I DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE). BEFORE THE RPMS WENT BACK TO AN IDLE I STARTED ROLLING DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY (WHICH IS AT LEAST A 30 DEGREE SLOPE DOWNHILL) BUT WHEN ROLLING DOWN I WAS DEFINITELY ON THE BRAKES A LITTLE AS TO NOT GO EVEN PAST 1MPH -- SO VERY SLOW. I NOTICED ALL THREE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I DECIDED TO LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE SO I CAN TRY EVEN MORE TROUBLESHOOTING. STILL NO RESULTS UNLESS I CYCLED THE IGNITION. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TODAY FOR AN ECM UPDATE THEY SENT ME IN THE MAIL, AND THEY SAID THEY DID SEE A "BRAKE SWITCH ERROR" FOR CODE "HISTORY" BUT THERE WERE NO CURRENT CODES. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY
AT 32,000 MILES MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR SPRING MECHANISM BROKE DURING A COLD MORNING(10-15F). IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES IT BROKE AGAIN AND I NEED TO REPLACE IT MYSELF. THE DEALERSHIP SURPRISINGLY HAD SEVERAL IN STOCK WHICH WAS ODD BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING A DEALER WOULD NORMALLY STOCK UNLESS THERE IS A TRENDING PROBLEM WITH IT. IT'S NOT ME ABUSING IT AS I AM DON'T TREAT MY THINGS IN A FAST FORCEFUL MANNER, I'VE ALSO NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE IN HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS OF MILES. YET, I HAVE 2 OF THE EXACT SAME ITEM FAILURES IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. THE SAFETY ISSUE HERE IS THAT WHEN THE SUN VISOR BREAKS, IT HANGS DOWN PERFECTLY VERTICAL BLOCKING THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. I PRETTY MUCH HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK HOLDING THE VISOR WITH MY LEFT HAND. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK I GRABBED A SCREW DRIVER AND REMOVED THE VISOR UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED. *TR
