Subaru Impreza 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10072315

SUBARU IMPREZA 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 04, 2003.SUBARU IMPREZA 2003, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . the abs program installed on this car (wrx) is extremely sensitive. snow covered roads require extreme care because the abs engages ay too easily, resulting in very little stopping power. one time i was making a 90 degree left turn on wet asphalt; i had to brake suddenly. the abs didn't understand and the right side locked for one sec and i drifted off line, barely missing a median. forget about receiving maximum braking power over any undulating surface (even on a straight roadway), abs intrudes and stopping distance is severely compromised. nothing has resulted as of today, but who knows what the future will bring. most drivers will be thrown out by the intrusiveness of the abs program. conversely, a better than average driver will almost be able to avoid this scenario entirely. i discussed the deal with a dealer and they told me it was all normal. i agree, but the abs is still way too sensitive, and i have proof. i had a wheel speed sensor go out on my right rear side which disabled my abs. i drove the car for a few months afterward and the brakes were much more predictable and twice as easy to modulate. i was enjoying a non-abs car so much that i actually told the dealer it was no big deal and i would get it fixed once i fully understood the system. i eventually got the wheel speed sensor replaced and all is well, except for the fact that abs is still extremely intusive. i now have performance tires on the car and i still can't maximize their ability! *la.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 6000 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 26, 2006.SUBARU IMPREZA 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS . see odi number 10179098 (cont). i do not know if subaru will assuage my concerns, but i cannot in good conscience not report this issue. first i think you have underestimated the fire danger. true there have been no fires caused directly by this problem (i think), but the problem only occurs in the cold, there are relatively few wrxs (when compared to ford explorers), and people who drive them normally are gearheads and take pretty good care of their cars--i.e. when they smell fuel they fix their car rapidly, or they have already modified their car with different fuel lines and no longer have the problem. i have to question how thoroughly you investigated this issue since your investigation only lasted 5 months. were independent tests performed? from your statement you seem to be taking subaru's word. the smell continues after the car is running, significant amounts of fuel are involved, and the fuel drips onto the engine block or turbo-very hot components. i don't know how this isn't a fire hazard. secondly, the fumes are noxious. the first time this problem occurred i was transporting my newborn baby daughter home from the hospital. this is our only car. please consider if you would like your child riding around in a vehicle with this problem. i think this is as much of a safety hazard as the fire danger. i would be happy to help with any investigation. i will provide an official statement, or allow you to come to my home do any diagnostics you would like to my car. i have to admit, i am somewhat disappointed at nhtsa's response to this issue. it seems that many have reported this issue, and the investigation has not been reopened. as a federal employee i know it is my responsibility to protect the public. i hope you feel the same way. i will be sending a copy of the note to my congresswoman, my senators, the senate committee on commerce; science; and transportation, and the house transportation and infrastructure committee. thank you. *nm.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52800 miles.

Subaru Impreza 2003 Reports


I test drove a 2011 Subaru Outback yesterday at night in a very dark area with the headlights on. I could only see out of the bottom third of the windshield. The top two thirds of the windshield looked as if a black curtain had dropped down over i

I notice if I quickly accelerate/go into overdrive - front of car will hum. Do I need to have something checked out?
Thank you!

2004 forester xt, strong gas smell in the cold weather when the heat is on. They won't fix it because they "can't find it" at my dealership. Do I need a new fuel line or is there an easier fix?

Thank you for these, can find a decent review now.

My 1998 subaru forester stutters/hiccups/bucks (whatever you call it) when going uphill, and when accelerating on a straight path, can it be the transmission?

My 2002 Impreza Outback Sport's check engine light comes on when I'm going downhill, not all the time.  Also (not all the time), if I don't downshift when coming to a stop, the car dies, not stalls, dies.  It starts right back up.  The engine l

i just wrecked my 04 wrx front impact and no air bag and seat belt locked after the impact...how do i contact some one to have this investigated?
