2013 SUBARU IMPREZA Complaints

CLEANED UPHOLSTERY AND SEATS SLIGHTLY DAMP, WHEN I STARTED CAR THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND PASSENGER SEAT SHOWED AIR BAG OFF EVEN THOUGH A PASSENGER WAS IN SEAT. IT HAS BEEN TWO DAYS AND AIR BAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND PASSENGER BAG SHOWS AS OFF EVEN IF PASSENGER IS IN SEAT. AS SOON AS I START THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING.

THE WIRE HARNESS FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH MELTED AND CREATED A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. THE WIRE HARNESS AND BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH HAS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE CONDITION.

6/1/2018-DRIVING FROM KC TO ST. LOUIS-DROVE 1.25 HOURS-STOPPED FOR BREAK-DROVE ANOTHER 1.5 HOURS AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON UNPROVOKED. TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON FIXED. RETURN TRIP 6/3/2018 FROM ST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS OR IS WET OUTSIDE MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND ACTS AS IF I DONT HAVE A PASSENGER NEXT TO ME, BUT I DO. THEY ARE SITTING WITH SEAT BELT ON IN PASSENGER SEAT. BUT THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH SAY OTHERWISE. THIS ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN ITS WET OUT. AND IT SHOWS THE LIGHT ON DASH WHEN IM DRIVING, NOT WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR.

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING IN THE 95 NORTH SUDDENLY THE CAR LOCK OUT! MY SON BROUGHT THE CAR TO GARAVEL SUBARU GARAGE IN NORWALK CT. WHERE DIEGO WHO IS THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GARAVEL SUBARU TOOK CARE OF IT, THAT WAS ON NOVEMBER 18/2017 UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 11/28 OR 29 2017!

MY SOME BROUGHT AGAIN THE CAR TO THE GARAGE ON DECEMBER 23/2017- UNTIL JANUARY 4/2018,WHO WAS CHECK AGAIN AND THE COME UP THAT THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY THING WRONG. MY SON CAME BACK WITH THE CAR, WITH THE MIND SET THE EVERYTHING WAS OK. AN HE WAS RISK HE LIFE AND OTHER LIFE WITH THE DEFECTIVE CAR.! STILL. AND THE CLUTCH DID AGAIN, LOCK OUT!!! HE BROUGHT THE CAR AGAIN ON JANUARY 28 ON OR ABOUT 2018 AND CURRENTLY THERE! PLEASE INVESTIGATE!

TAKATA RECALL. HAVING CELL PHONE ON SEAT WILL ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG ON AND WILL SET OFF SEAT BELT LIGHT AND SOUND. AFTER GETTING THE SEAT WET, AIRBAG WOULD NOT GO ON WITH SOMEONE SITTING IN IT AND LIGHT WOULD BE ON THE DASH. I HAD TO LET THE SEAT DRY AND THAT SEEMED TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN AFTER GETTING WET. THIS IS PASSANGER SEAT. I SEE THAT THERE'S A RECALL FOR THAT ON THE 2012 MODEL. THE 2013 MODEL IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME SENSORS AS THE 2012. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS GET UPDATED AND MOVED TO A RECALL JUST LIKE THE 2012 MODELS.

FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT GRABS FREQUENTLY, HITTING MY WIFE IN HER NECK OR NEAR IT. SUBARU DEALER SAID IT IS OKAY. OCCURS WHEN I BRAKE THE CAR OR GO AROUND CORNERS. USUALLY, MY OWN BELT IS NOT GRABBING AT THESE TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL: PLEASE NOTE SHIFT LEVEL GEAR CONTROL LOCKS WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON, IN PARK, FOOT ON BRAKE. THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS, EMERGENCY BRAKE SENSORS, AND HILL SENSORS TURN ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE GEAR LOCKS AND THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON OR OFF COMPLETELY WHEN THESE SENSORS ARE ON. IT WILL ONLY TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKE HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR SO LONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND PLACES, PARKING LOTS, DRIVEWAYS, AND IN AREAS WHEN CHANGING GEARS NEEDS TO OCCUR AND SIMPLE WILL NOT
