Subaru Impreza 2007 — Problemas relatados

car just locking on its own as you're driving down the road cruise control light blinking on and off randomly had a brake light gets stuck when I got home and got other vehicle the other night it took you forever to get that off but I have received takata airbag recall notice do not drive and no one can be in the passenger seat also definitely progressed as time went on these unusual symptoms mostly computerized but have a hard time believing they're not related to the airbag recall yes it's available for inspection that's what I tried to do at not closest authorized dealership but they would not budge really on anything at all wouldn't have towed it then tow back wouldn't come pick it up exchange me a car then I would have means of transportation to pick it back up that makes the most sense but I can drive it is what they're telling me but there can be no passengers in the car they want me to bring it down there bottom line but it's nothing like the complimentary round trip towing or other transportation alternatives are available that is advertised on the do not drive paper I got in the mail and its not worth my time arguing with them I had an appointment scheduled on the 17th at 8:30 but that was me driving it down there maybe getting a loaner vehicle while I was there but there just didn't seem like there was no certainty on that but something's got to be straightened out here I can't have my children riding in this car or my wife she's pregnant and my grandmother has got to get to dialysis this week and here I'm stuck I'm trying to get this dealership to reason with me we never come to an appointment to be rescheduled because they don't want to work with me at all drive down there wait and bring it back is it should I contact another dealership right now I'm driving it sparingly to get groceries in a few things by myself but the more I looked into the situation and the bizarre computer errors any more details you need contact me sorry for the grammar errors

My brake line was extremely rusted and broke while driving. I I discovered this when I got home after I felt a Difference in the brake pedal and the responsiveness which quickly lead to no response at all with the brakes and brake light coming on right before I pulled into my driveway

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD(LUCKILY AT 35 MPH) THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I DOWN SHIFTED AND USED THE EBRAKE AND STOPPED SAFELY AND NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME SAFELY, AND CHECKING THINGS OUT, I NOTICED THE 4 WAY CONNECTOR (RECALLED UNDER CAMPAIGN# WQK-47) WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND LOOKS AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED. THEN, WHILE LOOKING UP THE PART, I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT NOT ON MY SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, EVEN THOUGH THE SURROUNDING MODELS AND YEARS WERE RECALLED. PERHAPS THIS WAS OVERLOOKED? OR THE AMOUNT OF UNMODIFIED SURVIVING WRX'S DIDN'T PETICULARLY JUSTIFY A RECALL ON THAT MODEL? EITHER WAY, IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS ALSO AN INCREDIBLY INVOLVED FIX. THE PART ON THE 06-07 IMPREZA WRX IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 05-08 OUTBACKS AND LEGACYS. I WILL BE CALLING SUBARU OF AMERICA TODAY AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT. BUT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE THEM NOTIFY ANY 06-07 WRX OWNERS IN THE RUST BELT THAT THIS MIGHT BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD! FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT [XXX]FOR ANY FURTHER EXPLANATION! THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE "AIRBAG" LIGHT FOR DRIVERS SIDE COMES ON AND GOES OFF RANDOMLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND I DID TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. BUT IF THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (I SUSPECT THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT) THE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND GO OFF RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP QUIT RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS YEARS AGO NOW.

BRANDON, THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT SUBARU OF SANTA CRUZ, ATTENDED TO MY SERVICE AND REPAIR NEEDS I HAD IN JULY OF 2017, HOWEVER NOT THE AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN I ENTERED THE SERVICE AREA I WENT OVER MY CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE AND WHAT SERVICES I NEEDED. I ALSO ASKED BRANDON TO LOOK UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE AIRBAG RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CHECK THAT OUT FOR ME. I LEFT THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS AND CAME BACK TO PICK IT UP. I FIGURED AIRBAG RECALLS ARE TOP PRIORITIES AT SUBARU AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS REMEDIED. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT THE 5 PAGES OF CRYPTIC PAPERWORK THAT BRANDON HAD HANDED ME AND FOUND NO MENTION OF THE RECALL REPAIR. 16 PEOPLE HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT AS OF 3/17. I AM COMPLAING THAT THIS OVERSIGHT BY SUBARU OF SANTA CRUZ, HAVING MY VEHICLE IN THEIR POSSESION AND NOT TAKING CARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL SUBARU SENT A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 INDICATING THAT "SUBARU IS IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING PARTS NECESSARY TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR". MEANING THAT THEY ARE NOT PRESENTLY ABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." THIS IS ENTIRELY IMPRACTICAL. I DID NOT PURCHASE A SUBARU TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ONE ELSE IN THE FRONT SEAT! I NEED SUBARU TO EITHER REPAIR THE DEFECT IN A TIMELY FASHION, OR TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL - I FINALLY RECEIVED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA THAT I HAVE TWO AIRBAGS..TAKATA-SOURCED PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG AND TOYODA GOSEI DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED INDICATES THAT THEY WILL ONLY BE REPLACING THE TAKATA-SOURCED PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE...POSSIBLY NOT UNTIL FERUARY, 2017. TIMMONS SUBARU WHERE I PURCHASED THE SUBARU STATED THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR THE INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR...TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I'M REQUESTING THAT BOTH MANUFACTURERS AIRBAGS BE REMOVED AND DO NOT WANT THEM REPLACED...IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE TOYODA GOSEI'S AIRBAGS ARE EXPLODING EITHER BEFORE DEPLOYMENT OR UPON DEPLOYMENT AS ARC'S DID RECENTLY. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU COULD SECURE THE INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF PROPELLENT THAT TOYODA GOSEI IS USING IN THEIR AIRBAGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THESE ISSUES.

WE BOUGHT OUR SUBARU IMPREZA WITH 119.000 MILES ON IT. THE MOTOR LEAKS OIL AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD GASKETS. OURS BLOW UP. WARP THE HEADS IN ANOTHER. WE HAVE DONE HAD 5 MOTORS PUT IN IT, N THEY ALL DO IT. THIS LAST MOTOR DOES IT BUT NOT AS BAD AS THE OTHER ONES. THE WARRANTY COMPANY ON OUR SUBARU SAID THEY GET ALOT OF CALLS ABOUT THIS PROMBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING A TAKATA-SOURCED PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG. THE MANUAL THAT I RECEIVED WITH MY 2007 SUBARU IMPREZA STATES THAT I HAVE TWO (2) AIRBAGS (DRIVER'S AND FRONT PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIRBAGS) THE NOTICE STATES THAT PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE..WE'LL NOTICE YOU AGAIN WHEN THEY ARE. IT ALSO STATES..UNTIL THIS IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT...IT SHOULD ALSO STATE " DO NOT RIDE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT". I NEED TO RIDE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO SECURE GROCERIES, SUPPLIES, AND DR. APPOINTMENTS. I SOMETIMES HAVE PASSENGERS WITH ME. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE TO PARK IT IN THE GARAGE. USING THE 800-782-2783 NUMBER FOR SUBARU OF AMERICA THERE IS A RECORDING WITH A FULL MAILBOX..NO WAY TO LEAVE A MESSAGE THAT I REQUEST AND DEMAND A CORRECTED NOTICE THAT I HAVE 2 TAKATA AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE AND I WANT THEM REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE ARE LONG PAST THE EXPIRATION DATE OF APPROXIMATELY 6 YEARS WITH THE CHEMICAL BREAKING DOWN DUE TO HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ISSUE AN INCORRECT RECALL NOTICE AND UNACCEPTABLE TO STALL ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE FAULTY AIRBAGS. YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT OVER 9,000,000 AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT MINE HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. IF THEY HAVE TO WORK DAY AND NIGHT TO GET CORRECTED AIRBAGS AVAILABLE, THEN SO BE IT. I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE SERVICE DEPT. OF TIMMONS SUBARU AND VOLKSWAGEN OF LONG BEACH, CA TODAY ADVISING THE ABOVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE.

REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 60K MILES. BEGAN NOTICING THE NOISE FROM THE FAILING BEARINGS AROUND 50K MILES. UPON REPLACEMENT, THE BEARING RACES WERE VISUALLY INSPECTED AND FOUND TO HAVE MAJOR PITTING ON BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER RACES.

WIPERS AREN'T FAST ENOUGH IN HEAVY RAIN OR LIGHT RAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. VEHICLE IS LOW ENOUGH TO THE GROUND THAT SPRAY FROM OTHER CARS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. EVEN WITH BOSCH WIPER BLADES. THE SPEED SIMPLY ISN'T ENOUGH, EVEN A NEW WIPER MOTOR IS TOO SLOW. IT'S LIKE DRIVING IN A WHITEOUT.

TAKATA INFLATORS...NOT SURE I AM IN THE RIGHT PLACE BUT WE LIVE IN MISSOURI AND BOUGHT A CAR IN TENNESSEE AND IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION IN MISSOURI. SO HAD A MECHANICAL SHOP START FIXING IT AND THE MORE HE GOT INVOLVED THE MORE WAS WRONG WITH IT. RIGHT NOW IT WILL COST US OVER 5000 TO FIX AND WE BOUGHT IT FOR 7000.THE SHOP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND SAYS IT IS NOT ITS RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE PICTURES OF PARTS THAT WERE PUT ON WRONG WHICH DAMAGED OTHER PARTS. THEY SAID THEY BOUGHT IT AN AUCTION AND IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. SORRY IF I AM IN THE WRONG PLACE IF I AM COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME WHO I SHOULD CONTACT. THERE OTHER THINGS WRONG BUT COULD ONLY CHECK 3 ITEMS. THANK YOU. *TR

I REPLACED THE BATTERY ON 7/11/15. I NEEDED A SMOG CERTIFICATE THIS MONTH FOR MY REGISTRATION RENEWAL AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS FOR CERTIFICATION. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE OVER 700 MILES AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO DRIVE IT AN ADDITIONAL 50 TO 100 MILES NON-STOP TO RESET THE VEHICLE TO PASS THE INSPECTION. I ASKED AT THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T YOU RESET THE VEHICLE HERE SO THAT ALL THIS DRIVING AND MILEAGE IS NOT REQUIRED, THE DEALERSHIP STATED NO. THE VOLKSWAGEN HAVE A RESET BUTTON ON A PANEL BUT NOT THE SUBARU OR ANY OTHER VEHICLES. ALL VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE A RESET BUTTON AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED TO IMPLEMENT THIS FEATURE. ALL VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THE FUTURE SHOULD HAVE THAT FEATURE. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED 11/3/15 THRU 11/5/15 HAVING TO SPEND $35.00 ADDITIONAL IN GASOLINE AND DRIVING ON THE CONGESTED FREEWAYS TO RESET THE VEHICLE AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE. WHEN WILL THEY BE REPLACED? THANK YOU. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A TAKATA AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHEN WILL THEY BE REPLACED? *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS WERE BLOWN AT 41,295 MILES. LOW MILEAGE FOR THIS TYPE OF MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. AT 56,976 MILES THE IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION CABLES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO MIS-FIRE CONDITION ASSOCIATED WITH A CRACKED IGNITION COIL. THE EXACT SAME FAILURE OCCURRED AT 81,856 MILES. BOTH FAILURES WERE ACCOMPANIED BY BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LAMPS REQUIRING THE VEHICLE BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. REPEAT FAILURE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS REFLECTS PERSISTENT DEFECTS IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE.

SINCE THE HEAD GASKET BLEW. MY CAR KEEPS BREAKING DOWN. I HAVE A TODDLER. BY THE OIL SENSOR GAUGE IT KEEPS BREAKING AND MY CAR STARTS SMOKING. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IF I KEPT DRIVING THE CAR WOULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THE HOT OIL UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I FOUND OUT I NEED TO REPAIR THE HEAD GASKET AGAIN THE SECOND TIME. SINCE IT WAS CHANGED THE FIRST TIME MY CHECK ENGINE AND CRUISE CONTROL KEEP TURNING ON WHEN I HAVE LOW RPMS, AND AM IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND HIGH RPMS. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND SUBARU TOLD ME THEY WILL PAY FOR DAMAGES THAT THEY OWN UP TO. FOR MY HEAD GASKET I ONLY RECEIVED OVER $200 WHICH IT COST ME ALMOST $1500. THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE OTHER MATERIAL THAT WENT INTO FIXING THE HEAD GASKET LIKE OIL AND ETC. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS I WILL BE FIXING THE HEAD GASKET. *TR
