SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 22, 2010.SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . in february 2010, i purchased a 2008 subaru impreza sti from a subaru dealership with factory warranty and i purchased an extended factory warranty. once i began getting used to the car i noticed there was an issue. when i would accelerate there would be constant "dead spots" in the power band through out the rpm range. after multiple times of bring the car in for repair the dealership could not figure out the problem. but i being very car social on the internet i found that many and i mean many people were having the same issue with the acceleration of the vehicle and some had come to find out that there motors pistons "ringlands" were cracked and the cylinder was losing compression. after multiple services as explained before subaru finally found that my motor also had a "ringland" failure! the dealership replaced the bottom end of the motor and i received my car back. it ran great i knew that's how it should have felt in the first place.but now around 3000 miles later the same issue is back again! it is my worry that i go to pull out of a side road expecting the car to be able to make it out, and i go, but the car is bogging down and is struggling to get up to speed and the other car has to jam on there breaks or they end of rear ending me causing an even bigger problem.the same could be said for exit entrances onto highways. after researching on the internet i come to find out that this problem has been plaguing subaru owners for years now and subaru has done nothing to fix this issue. and this does not only effect subaru impreza sti owners only but can also be found in the models such as the wrx, or outbacks de to similar engine designs. i believe subaru is turning a blind eye to how much of and issue this is and how big an issue this could cause. i read that most car companies when they have a widespread issue as explained they compare the cost of a recall to cost of per car issues and they go with the cheaper but this is a major problem needs resolution. *tr.Mileage was 11000 miles.

Subaru Impreza Sti 2008 Engine And Engine Cooling Review #10345791

SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 05, 2008.SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . the subaru sti series known as the gr is prone to breaking piston ringlands if detonation ever occurs, which happens easily on this engine, which is now tuned for more power yet fewer emissions. the ringland breakage results in power loss and extreme oil consumption due to blowby and if not noticed in time will lead to engine seizing. if driven aggressively enough, this seizing due to oil loss can happen in as few as 10 minutes. it is also possible for the ringland breakage to be so severe that the engine spray-coats a large section of roadway, making for the equivalent of a black ice condition for other traffic. a potential safety hazard i'm not aware of happening with this vehicle yet but still possible is not only the loss of control should the engine seize and the driver not be mechanically savvy enough to know disengaging the clutch will give him back some control and reduce the chances of being rear-ended when the car tries to stop very rapidly without the brakes and therefore the brakelights being used. despite the large numbers of these failures being reported, subaru denies a problem exists. i have all of the parts from my original failed engine which also showed other assembly problems. i will have the pieces of my 2nd engine when i pick the car up soon. many mechanics are of the opinion many of these engines have broken ringlands and the owners don't know it. we also feel the problem is aggressive oem tuning while using weak cast pistons as it's detonation, even a single event, that breaks them. and it's inconceivable an engine with this damage would pass an epa emissions test. *tr.Mileage was 1987 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 26, 2010.SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . 1. i was driving the car on a road trip to nc when the issue arose. 2. the failure to the car was cracked ringlands on the # 2 and 4 pistons. this caused the car to produce a white smoke cloud on start up. before i purchased this car subaru issued a stop sale on all 2008 wrx's. the car was repaired at a local dealership under a goodwill repair. to which i was responsible for part of the cost. this repair was conducted in mar 2010. since then the car has been operating very well until recently to which the engine has developed a knock. i had the car towed to the dealership to determine what the issue was. the dealership contacted me the next day to inform me that the rod bearing on cyl #4 had failed. this is the same issue that prompted subaru to place a stop sale on the vehicles. during the initial stop sale they had a range of vin's that could have been affected, mine was not in that list. i think subaru had mis-calculated the number of cars that were affected on this stop sale. 3. my car is currently at the dealership awaiting a re-manufactured engine, to which i have to disagree with. i purchased this car new with no re-manufactured on it from the factory. so why can a car maker place re-manufactured parts in a car for a repair? *tr.Mileage was 37852 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 23, 2013.SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . check engine light went off, flashing cruise control, and flashing differential selection [s] code. brought the car to the shop and had it checked out. the error code is p1410 which translates to something wrong with the secondary air injection system. most likely one of the valves (or both) that operate with this system is rusted stuck the open or closed position (worse if its stuck open). checking multiple forums this is happening regularly and subaru is choosing not to cover it under warranty and/or recall. the part was poorly designed and is subject to rust/failure in humid, rainy, or snowy environments. this can be dangerous when driving as it puts your car in a limp mode turning off the cruise control unexpectedly and possibly forcing your car out of its multiple driving modes (via selector in the center console near the armrest below the shifter). i am not sure how damaging that could be to hard switch the mode while running at high speeds but there is the potential. with the amount of people complaining about this known problem with the subaru wrx sti (which is their top dog sports car) there is no reason for there not to be some kind of resolution/recall for this faulty part/design. to top it off, the repair costs for this is astronomical in the $1000+ range from the estimates i am getting. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30100 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 03, 2014.SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . there is a loud squeak noise when the clutch is being pressed, and at times when the structure flexes,it interferes with changing gears. not only does it interfere with changing gears but,it also causes the break pedal assembly moves when pressing the clutch. i have verified that some weld spot have broken off and have become loose. this is a big problem seeing as how it is a safety issue. when it completely separates, due to shotty welding, not only could the clutch go out while driving but it could cause the breaks to go out as well. this is not wear and tear, i've only had the car for about a 1.5 years. welds should not bust that quickly. i have verified in the subaru community that this is a common problem manual transmission imprezas. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 78000 miles.

SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 31, 2014.SUBARU IMPREZA STI 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the clutch bracket on the firewall has only 4 small tack welds from the factory. this bracket takes all the force of your leg pushing in the clutch every time you change a gear. it appears to be very common on the subaru wrx sti for these small tacks to break away from the firewall and cause accelerated clutch wear and eventually clutch failure. my clutch failed and the dealer is now telling me that there is no knowledge of the problem and the repair for this manufacturing defect will not be covered by subaru. talking to other people and checking the sti forums this is a common problem that subaru has paid for for some people. they are refusing to cover this for me. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60500 miles.
