THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THIS WAS ALSO NOTED BY THE EMERGENCY CREW WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW OR DEFECT THAT SUBARU ENGINEERS NEED TO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1800 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2013 Steering Report #10536607
SUBARU IMPREZA 2013 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2012.SUBARU IMPREZA 2013, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with STEERING . THE MALFUNCTION DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING ALWAYS OCCURS UNDER THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING MALFUNCTION THAT IN MANY CASES WOULD RESULT IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. 1. CAR IS PARKED, WITH THE ENGINE OFF. 2. DRIVER ENTERS CAR, DEPRESSES CLUTCH PEDAL, AND RELEASES PARKING BRAKE. 3. VEHICLE ROLLS (EVEN SLIGHTLY) BEFORE ENGINE IGNITION IS TURNED ON AND ENGINE STARTS. 4. ENGINE STARTS AND THE STEERING MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SERVO POWERS ON AND ACTIVELY LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL IN POSITION, PREVENTING THE DRIVER FROM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS CONDITION CONTINUES TO EXIST WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION UNDER ENGINE POWER. THIS CONDITION LASTS 4-10 SECONDS, AND THEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS OPERATING NORMALLY. IN ORDER TO TURN THE WHEEL, THE DRIVER MUST OVERPOWER THE POWER STEERING, SOMETHING MANY DRIVERS WOULD BE UNABLE TO DO. THIS IS NOT A CASE OF "DRY STEER" (ENGINE OFF STEERING) OR ATTEMPTING TO STEER WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE CAN BE STEERED (WITH INCREASED STEERING EFFORT, AS EXPECTED) UNDER "DRY STEER" (ENGINE OFF) CONDITIONS, THE FIRST TIME THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH BEFORE THE DRIVER (MYSELF) NOTICED THE INABILITY TO STEER. I NARROWLY MISSED CRASHING INTO A CURB/DIVIDER BY PERFORMING A "PANIC STOP" WITH THE BRAKES. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER TO AVOID THE CURB, I WAS FORCED TO COME TO A RAPID STOP USING THE BRAKES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles. Subaru Impreza 2013 problem was reported in EVERETT, WA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 4 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 10 mph.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2013 Service Brakes Report #10549683
SUBARU IMPREZA 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 23, 2013.SUBARU IMPREZA 2013, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . IN AN OUTSIDE PARKING LOT WITH PARKING BLOCKS STARTED THE CAR AND MOVED FORWARD TOWARD AND OVER THE PARKING BLOCK AT STARTING SPEED. THE CAR LEAPED FORWARD AND LOST BRAKING POWER, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. CAR LEAPED AHEAD ACROSS THE ASPHALT ROAD TO NEXT PARKING ROW ON GRAVEL WITH DRIVER TURNING RIGHT, TO AVOID A POLE AND STANDING CARS AHEAD, AND NON-ACCELERATING STEADY-SPEED MOVEMENT CONTINUED OVER SEVERAL PARKING BLOCKS ON GRAVEL WITHOUT ABILITY FOR THE DRIVER TO STOP USING BRAKE PEDAL. THE CAR COULD NOT BE STOPPED, WITH BRAKES DROPPING, EVEN WHEN BACK ON ASPHALT ROAD. MOVEMENT ONLY STOPPED WHEN SHIFT PUT IN PARKING POSITION. IN TOTAL THE BRAKING POWER WAS LOST FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. THE TRIGGER FOR EVIDENCED BRAKE DISFUNCTION WAS LOW-SPEED FRONT-WHEEL COLLISION WITH THE CONCRETE BELOW-BUMPER PARKING BLOCK, OR PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN GOING OVER THE BLOCK, OR A COMBINATION OF THESE AND POSSIBLY OTHER FACTORS. DEALER STATED NO BRAKE FAILURE, NO FLUID LEAK, NO ERROR CODES. DRIVER HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE > $2400 COST TO REPLACE DAMAGED EXHAUST SYSTEM AND SCRATCHED DRIVER-SIDE FRONT WHEEL. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED NOT BY THE INITIAL COLLISION WITH THE PARKING BLOCK, BUT THE SUBSEQUENT UNCONTROLLABLE MOVEMENT OVER SEVERAL (4-6) PARKING BLOCKS DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL FUNCTION. HAD THERE BEEN PEOPLE, CARS OR BIGGER OBJECTS AHEAD OF THE CAR, THE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR EXTENSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE HEIGHT OF THE PARKING BLOCK WAS JUST SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE HEIGHT OF A STANDARD SPEED BUMP. WE ENCOURAGE INVESTIGATION ON SUBARU IMPREZA 2013 BRAKE AND ABS FUNCTION WHEN BRAKING OVER SPEED BUMPS, CURBS AND OTHER LOW OBSTACLES OR FOLLOWING A LOW-SPEED, LOW-OBSTACLE FRONT-WHEEL COLLISION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8000 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 14, 2013.SUBARU IMPREZA 2013, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK IN THE MORNING AND AS I ENTERED THE PARKING AREA I NOTICED MY OIL LIGHT COME ON. I PARKED THE CAR AND CHECKED THE OIL, AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE STICK. I HAD JUST CHANGED THE OIL LESS THAN 2000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS AND I WAS CONCERNED. I PROCEEDED TO CHECK FOR LEAKS AND FOUND NONE. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY ENGINE IS A QUART LOW ON MOTOR OIL (0W20), AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL BECAUSE 2.0I FB ENGINES BURN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES AT THE MOST. THIS IS ABSURD, I AM A FORMER ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING I THOUGHT TO BE NORMAL. THIS CARS IS RATED TO GO 7500 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, AND IF I AM BURNING A QRT OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILE THEN I AM ESSENTIALLY CHANGING THE OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. TO CALL THIS A COMMON/NORMAL OCCURRENCE IS LIKE SAYING THAT THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS. THE DEALER ESSENTIALLY TOPED OFF MY OIL, PUT A STICKER IN THE WINDOW AND SAID IN 1200 MILE COME BACK AND WE WILL START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, BUT NOT AT THE COST OF THE DEALER OR SUBARU. THIS INITIAL COST WOULD BE CHARGED TO ME THE CUSTOMER AT A COST OF ALMOST $100.00 DOLLARS WHICH I FIND RIDICULOUS SINCE THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS IS A DIAGNOSTIC OF A FAILURE NOT A NORMAL OIL CHANGE. WHEN I CONTACTED SUBARU OF NORTH AMERICA I STILL GOT THE RUN AROUND, AND I FEEL AS IF THEY ARE HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE A WHOLE FLEET OF VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROAD READY TO BLOW ENGINES AND THEY ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING THEY DID IN THE PAST WITH THE 2.5 AND BLAME THE CUSTOMER. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10882 miles.

I HAVE NEVER OWNED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAD TO BE TAKE TO THE DEALER AS MUCH AS MY SUBARU. I AM HAVING MY OIL CHANGES DONE EVERY 3-4 MONTHS AND HAVING TO TAKE IT IN 1-2 TIMES IN BETWEEN TO HAVE OIL ADDED. EVERY TIME I SHOW UP FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST I AM ABOUT 1-1/2 QTS LOW ON OIL. I PURCHASED A SUBARU BECAUSE THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE THEY ARE. NOW, I WAS TOLD THAT I JUST NEED TO CARRY OIL IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES.

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? 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?
Thank you!
