Subaru Impreza 2004 Power Train Driveline Differential Unit Review #10078474

SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 car safety problem was reported on Sept 11, 2003.SUBARU IMPREZA 2004, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT . i bought a 2004 subaru impreza wrx sti in july 2003 from bob baker subaru in el cajon, california and ever since then i have had one problem after the next. please be advised that all servicing is completed at the lancaster mazda-subaru location where i live. several cosmetic parts were defective when the car was purchased such as: the trunk latch did not function, the back seat was unhooked, the seat lever that moves the seat in half, the cup holder does not function properly, and the head lights fogged up. mechanical failure has also occurred. it has had an odd noise in the engine since the beginning which subaru claims is normal for this car because it is a "racecar". the starter sometimes grinds when attempting to start the car, subaru could not diagnose this problem. the left rear chassis makes an odd noise when rolling that subaru could not diagnose. it has gotten progressively worse and now when you turn the vehicle it makes a loud metal against metal screech. as of 6/18/2004 the engine has begun to fail. when the rpms reach between 4000-5000 the car cuts out prior to accelerating and a burning smell is detected. i spoke with the original dealership i bought the car from and they acknowledged that when this car is driven a little bit harder than normal they are noticing that several of the impreza wrx sti's are being brought back in with engine failure. they have noted several problems such as turbo bog, overheating, poor performance, and the catalytic converters burning up. there is obviously a distinct problem with this over $30,000 and i think a complaint should be filed against subaru. when it is out of warranty and it breaks, as it will, it will just sit in a garage because i cannot afford to fix a car that is manufactured poorly. subaru has advised that this car is a race car and it is far from that. they should be held responsible for all problems arising from this car since they obviously manufactured a poorly made vehicle.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5651 miles.

Subaru Impreza 2004 Power Train Manual Transmission Review #10143599

SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 car safety problem was reported on Nov 14, 2005.SUBARU IMPREZA 2004, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . on july 4, 2005, i got a grinding sound while trying to shift into 2nd gear after pulling away from a light. i thought it was just me missing the shift. several days later it happened again. i started to delay my shifts into 2nd gear. this same scenario started repeating itself several more times. then the same problem started while trying to downshift into 4th gear. on november 14, 2005, i took the car to the subaru dealer. i told them that i thought the synchronizers were bad in 2nd and 4th gears. the next day, the dealer called and told me the synchronizers were bad, as well as the 2nd and 4th gear sets, and the cost would be $2,900.00 to repair it. he said that they had determined that the damage was due to "driver abuse", and was not covered under the warranty. he told me that he would contact the manufacturer and see what could be done. two days later, subaru said they would repair the transmission with no charge as a good will gesture, but not as an item covered under the warranty. they did the repair. i have found that my situation is not unique in the 2002 thru 2005 subaru impreza wrx and sti . subaru dealers are denying warranty repairs for these two subaru models, claiming "driver abuse". this problem needs to be investigated. my theory is that when turning the cars and shifting, there is twisting in the drivetrain that is bringing the synchronizers in contact with the transmission case causing the initial damage. the sensor's will then not align the gears properly and then the grinding starts. the more the car is driven, the more the sensor's are damaged, and, thus, the more the gears grind. the point is that all subsequent damage caused by the damaged sensors, due to faulty design, should be covered by the warranty. subaru needs to be investigated concerning this problem. subaru has put redesigned, stronger synchronizers in the manual transmissions of their 2006 wrx and wrx sti models. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 25000 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 car safety problem was reported on Feb 12, 2006.SUBARU IMPREZA 2004, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . hello, i've been having extreme problems with the antilock brake system in my 2004 subaru impreza wrx. it'll kick in at unneeded times, where i will lose control of the car and the car will continue to lurch forward. this can be a frightening experience, especially if there's a car in front of me. in the winter, i have to pull the abs fuse, which believe it or not, actually helps my braking distance. if i leave the abs enabled and hit a patch of ice, i'll lose total control of the brakes and continue to glide. in my opinion, this is a huge safety concern, and one that many other subaru owners have complained about to both subaru and your organization. subaru issued a voluntary recall for the abs system for models 2003 and under, but the problem is still there for the 2004 model as well. subaru refuses to do anything to fix my problem. i appreciate any help you can give me in this matter. sincerely, paul ahern. *nm.Mileage was 17800 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2011.SUBARU IMPREZA 2004, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . started as an unusually high idle while in park (as soon as the car was turned on). after a few hours of running it (driving 48 mi to work and errands), i would put the car into drive & as soon as i would remove my foot from the brake (already having a high idle) it would accelerate on it's own to 15-20 mph. when i would brake and bring the car to a full stop, it would "jump" slightly against the brake. finally i noticed the gas pedal felt as if it was not moving smoothly. as i took the car off of cruise control (at 65 mph) by turning it off at the cc controls on the wheel (my feet not near the pedals) it began to accelerate rather than slow down. at this point i parked the car & called for a tow to the subaru service center. *tr.Subaru Impreza 2004 problem was reported in MADISON, WI.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 21, 2011.SUBARU IMPREZA 2004, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STEERING . regarding nhtsa recall no. 11v-464, upon receipt of notification, i contacted a local dealer who refused to make the required appointment for inspection of the vehicle. i was informed that there are too many vehicles to be inspected at this time for an appointment to made, and that we would receive a telephone call at an unspecified time in the future which would then permit us to make an appointment. since the defect, if there is a defect in this vehicle, can cause sudden loss of control of the vehicle without warning, i am deeply concerned by the inability and unwillingness of the dealer to make an appointment to inspect this vehicle. what is the point of issuing recall notices and a procedure in which vehicles are to be inspected when the dealer refuses to make an appointment to inspect the vehicle? *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JF1GG29614H.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2012.SUBARU IMPREZA 2004, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . upon starting the car during the colder winter months, a raw fuel smell will begin to fill the cabin if the hvac system is turned on to vent fresh air. this smell is strong enough to cause lightheadedness and the sensation of nausea. upon further investigation, the passenger side fuel line is leaking fuel underneath the intake manifold, to the extent that you can visibly see a puddle of fuel boiling on top of the engine block. this happens because there are two hard metal fuel lines running to the fuel injectors connected by a small piece of rubber hose with clamps. however this hose from the factory is cut too short, so when the temperature is cold enough the rubber looses its elastic properties and as the metal lines vibrate / move with the motor, it leaks fuel out of the rubber hose. this problem has been addressed by subaru in the tsb #09-36-03. they offer to replace the rubber hose and hard metal fuel line for model years 2002 and 2003 impreza wrx's free of charge. having been an owner of a 2002 impreza wrx before purchasing my 2004 impreza wrx, i had this service performed at my local subaru dealership. i am disgusted to find out that this coverage does not apply to the model year 2004 impreza wrx, when it features an identical motor and drivetrain to the previous years (2002, 2003.) this means that the fueling system is identical as well, and that the previously acknowledged raw fuel leak is happening in my car as well. the fact that the 2004 impreza wrx has the same motor. and same fuel system, and subaru of america will openly deny coverage to have the parts replaced is truly disgusting in itself. raw fuel leaking on top of a hot engine block, around sources of ignition is the most extreme of safety hazards, and now i own a vehicle in which i cannot transport my wife and child. i am truly disappointed in subaru for turning a cold shoulder to this. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 105000 miles.

Subaru Impreza 2004 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?

I HAVE A SUBARU FORESTER 2000 TAIL LIGHT/PLATE LIGHT/'FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT STAYS ON.ONCE FUSE IS REMOVED LIGHT GOES OUT.WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

I own a 2008 Subaru impreza, till last week i was fine, but now it is having some problem i.e it is making whining sound from  steering pump, will i have to replace the steering pump and hoe much will it cost.

Standard on all Impreza models are anti lock disc brakes, stability control, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints to help mitigate crash-induced whiplash

2006 Subaru outback died. Will not tke a boost. With battery cable connected there is an error code in the odometer. Does anybody know what this can be?

2007 Forester bangs into gear-been doing this mainly in cold weather but now all the time. Dealer always says not problem-it has to "warm up" and doesnt want ot deal with it.

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?
