  ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  MULTIPLE SUBARU'S WITH TURBO ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING THE P2441 CEL CODE WHICH IS AN ISSUE WITH SECONDARY AIR VALVES BEING STUCK. THIS IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND NOT POWERTRAIN SO WARRANTY DOESNT COVER BEYOND A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN OCCURING OVER THE PAST DECADE, WITH EXPENSIVE COST TO FIX >$1200 FOR A VALVE REPAIR. IT APPEARS EVEN WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IS UNPREDICTABLE. SUBARU OF AMERICA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE.

  CLUTCH PEDAL MAKES SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN FULLY DEPRESSED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE INTO FIRST GEAR. IT WILL ALSO MAKE A CLICKING TYPE NOISE WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL IS ONLY DEPRESSED 25% OF THE WAY DOWN. CAN EASILY BE REPLICATED DAY OR NIGHT, HOT OR COLD. KNOWN ISSUE BUT DEALERSHIP SERVICE HAS NO WARRANT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.

  ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES

  THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR SINCE I FIRST GOT IT. WHILE DRIVING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL SUDDENLY COME ON; CAUSING THE ABS TO BE DISABLED. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND NOW THAT IT IS WINTER, I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AFTER MY CAR SLID INTO AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT COULDN'T STOP FAST ENOUGH DUE TO THE SNOW AND THEN ABS DISABLED. THIS CAR HAS THREADS AND FORUMS GALORE ON THIS ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND SUBARU REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE ABS BEING DISABLED FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A DANGER! *TR

  SERVICE BRAKES

  WHILE DRIVING, THREE DASH LIGHTS TURN ON-ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND HILL ASSIST LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES NO LONGER FUNCTION ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND HILL ASSIST, FURTHERMORE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE.THE PART WAS REPLACED BY SUBARU WHEN UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS OTHER TIMES SINCE BEING REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE DASH LIGHTS WILL RESET WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, BUT THEY ALWAYS COME BACK AT SOME POINT.THE PART REPLACED WAS THE BRAKE LIGHT STOP SWITCH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY SUBARU WRX DRIVERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY SUBARU. *TR
