2013 SUBARU IMPREZA Complaints

OIL DRIPS FROM GASKET ON TOO HOT PART OF ENGINE CAUSING A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE YET BUT WE WERE INFORMED BY OUR MECHANIC THAT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IF NOT REPAIRED HAVE ANY INCIDENTS OF THIS NATURE ON SUBARUS BEEN RECORDED TO THIS DAY?

VECHILE BURNING OIL AT A RATE OF A QUART EVERY 1500 MILES,SUBARU STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL, MECHANICS TOLD ME THIS IS NOT NORMAL..I HAVE HAD OLD CLUNKERS WITH HIGH MILLAGE THAT DID NOT BURN THIS MUCH OIL.

HELLO, IT HAS COME TIME WHERE MY LOYAL SUBARU HAS HAD IT'S FIREWALL SPOT WELDS SNAP OFF AND MY FIREWALL MOVES ABOUT 3 INCHES EVERYTIME I ENGAGED THE CLUTCH OR BRAKES. I REACHED OUT TO SUBARU OF AMERICA WHERE THEY HAD ME GET AN ESTIMATE OF 1750 DOLLARS. WHEN I SENT THEM THE INVOICE THE BEST THEY WOULD COVER IS 750 DOLLARS OF IT. THIS ISSUE IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN ON BEHALF OF MY LIFE AND THE COMPANY ACTED IN BAD FAITH TOWARDS IT'S CUSTOMER. THE CAR HAD NEVER BEEN BEAT ON OR ABUSED AND FROM JUST SIMPLY DRIVING THE CAR ON A NORMAL BASIS CREATED THIS ISSUE. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I WASN'T AWARE OF THE WHAT WAS AT STAKE. I RESEARCHED THE NUMEROUS PEOPLE FILING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS SINCE MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE PRODUCTION THIRD GEN WRXS WERE PROBED TO THIS FAULTY FIREWALL WELDS. SUBARU HAS BEEN WELL AWARE OF THIS AND KNEW THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN OR WHEN I EMAILED THEY WOULD HAVE ARGUED AGAINST IT BUT JUST INSTANTLY OFFERED A PORTION OF IT. IN THE BEST INTEREST OF MY SAFETY I FEEL IT'S NECESSARY FOR SUBARU TO PAY THE ENTIRE PORTION OF THE BILL TO ENSURE MY LIFE WILL BE SAFE IN THEIR CAR. IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD DO TO HELP ME THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, JEREMY.

WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED, THE AIRBAG SIGN ILLUMINATES OFF. OCCASIONALLY THE AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. AT TIMES THE SENSOR WILL SENSE THE SMALLEST THINGS, SUCH AS A SMALL BOX OF TISSUES, AND THE AIRBAG WILL TURN ON WITHOUT A PASSENGER. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE IGNITION, THE CONTACT HAD TO USE MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE KEY TO BEND. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF EVEN WITH PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. CAR WAS IN MOTION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON FOR THE 2012 MODEL, WHICH HAS THE SAME COMPONENTS AS THE 2013. IS THE NHTSA GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL OR IGNORE A KNOWN AND VERY DANGEROUS FAULT?

STEERING WHEEL VERY NOISE AND IT PULLING TO THE RIGHT.THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO CONTROL ON HIGHWAY SPEED.I HAD THIS PROBLEMS 2 WEEKS NOW.IS THERE ANY RECALL ON THIS VEHICAL.(2013 SUBARU IMPREZA)

WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS DAMP, THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR STOPS WORKING AND DEACTIVATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHEN AN ADULT IS OCCUPYING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG INDICATOR (LOCATED IN THE CENTER DISPLAY) TURNS "OFF" (EVEN IF AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT). THE RED SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING (LIGHT LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) TURNS ON WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS REGARDLESS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THE DASHBOARD 'AIRBAG MALFUNCTION' LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SWITCHES TO 'OFF' WHILE THERE IS AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS UPON STARTING THE CAR AND CONTINUES UNTIL THE CAR ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. I AM AFRAID IF THERE IS A CRASH THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.

ON TWO OCCASIONS OF A REAR END COLLISION ON DRY PAVEMENT, WHILE TRYING TO AVOID COLLISION AND APPLYING THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD, I FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. INSTEAD THE VEHICLE DIDN'T STOP BUT SLID INTO VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M BLAMING THE CAR FOR MY ACCIDENT BUT I HAVE HAD CARS STOP ON A DIME. THIS CAR DID NOT STOP ON A DIME. I HAD THE BRAKES APPLIED HARD ENOUGH THAT IT SHOULD HAVE STOPPED INSTEAD IT CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC UNDER THE SPEED OF 10-15MPH. I FELT LIKE THE CAR JUST CONTINUED TO MOVE SLIDING INTO THE OTHER CAR WHILE ON DRY PAVEMENT.
