SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Jan 19, 2004.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i have a 2003 subaru impreza wrx station wagon with an automatic transmission. the incident on january 19, 2004 is only one of at least five examples of the problem detailed below. *ak here is the recurring problem: whenever i brake at relatively low speeds (under 30mph as far as i remember) over even mildly bumpy surfaces, the brake pedal depresses completely to the floor and the car does not brake. the car will not begin braking until i realize what is going on, release the brake pedal, and then heavily depress the brake pedal again. i almost hit another car because of this issue on january 19, 2004. this is very bad, but even worse is what has happened in the past -- i live in southern california and some of the pedestrian crosswalks in my area utilize raised, white-painted concrete surfaces to highlight the crosswalk. this raised, uneven surface has triggered the brake problem i'm describing several times in the past. this is very scary since my car might strike a pedestrian in the crosswalk because of its inability to brake smoothly on uneven surfaces. i have owned several abs-equipped cars in the past, and none have exhibited this scary behavior. after reading on a subaru owner's internet site that many other owners have this problem, i contacted a subaru dealer about the issue. i was told that this is normal for abs-equipped cars. i find this extremely scary and very hard to believe..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 6550 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2004.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . i own a 2003 subaru wrx 5 speed wagon. i have been experiencing a distressing and repeatable loss of braking under certain circumstances. this problem has occurred more than once so the particular date doesn't seem that relevant, but i was forced to chose one below. the circumstances are as follows: under aggressive braking, a small bump in the road seems to cause the abs system to activate thereby decreasing brake system pressure and braking moment. i am certain that this is not a normal implementation of the abs system and am concerned that i may experience this in an emergency situation. i have driven many vehicles with and without abs and have never experienced this sort of failure or premature activation of the system before. i purchased the vehicle in april of 2003 and have experienced the problem multiple times during the year i have owned the vehicle. i cant be certain, but it may be the case that this only happens when the car is in gear with the clutch engaged and of course no pressure on the accelerator pedal. i have noticed that there is an investigation under way regarding this issue, and i am hopeful that my information will helpful in one way or another. i am available for further input and would welcome any information regarding progress related to this issue. thank you in advance for your attention to this issue. sincerely, michael pallotta .Subaru Wrx 2003 problem was reported in BAY SHORE, NY.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 25, 2002.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . the braking system in the vehicle malfunctions under the following conditions. when the vehicle is crossing over a sharp transition (break in pavement, train tracks or choppy rough pavement) in the road and undergoing light to moderate braking, the vehicle stops decelerating for about 1/2 to 1 second and the brake pedal drops very close to the firewall. this is very difficult to reproduce, but does happen about once every couple of weeks. when it happens, it scares the hell out of the driver. the amount of time that braking force goes to zero varies. on one occasion, i came very close to rear ending a car in front of me because of the problem. i also drive a non abs equipped vehicle (87 ford mustang) over the same roads. the wrx stopping distance over this part of roadway, where the failure occurs at 25 mph, is at least one car length greater than the mustang over the same part of road. on smooth roads, the wrx will easily stop in less distance than the mustang. there are two things that make this behavior so dangerous. 1) that it scares the driver so badly when it happens. 2) that the braking capability of the car varies unpredictably. apparently nhtsa has already closed their investigation into this issue. i found it on your website under ea03024. there is only a brief description on your website of the outcome, but basically it looks like "no problem found". this problem may be difficult to reproduce, but i assure you that it is very real. drivers are not imagining the problem. the subaru dealership and soa (subaru of america) have denied that there is any problem. one of the mechanics at the dealership commented to me that wrxs have this problem, but since the dealership doesn't have any control over the abs system they are forced to deny that there is a problem. since subaru won't admit to the problem, the only solution to it has been to disable the abs by removing its power fuse in the car. at least now i know what the car is going to do. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 500 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Sept 30, 2005.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . in my 2003 subaru impreza wrx, on multiple occasions, when i hit a small bump in the road (could be an expansion joint in a bridge or a crack in the road surface that has been patched) while braking, the abs kicks in and does not allow me to brake. after about one second has passed, the abs turns off and i grind to a halt. i have larger-than-stock, high performance tires, and on dry pavement, the stock brakes are not capable of applying enough pressure to lock up the brakes. but if i hit a small hiccup in the road, the abs turns on and does not allow me to apply any significant amount of braking power. as soon as it disengages, the increase in braking power is quite significant. i have yet to be in an accident as a result of this defect, but i have learned to leave extra distance between myself and the car in front of me. subaru is doing a "voluntary recall" to fix this problem after an investigation by your organization. i find it astounding that you were unable to replicate this problem. if this is the case, then i strongly urge you to revise the methods you use to develop an experiment. this is an obvious problem. it is relatively easy to replicate. if you are unable to replicate it, then you have not developed an experiment to effectively test for this defect. *jb.Subaru Wrx 2003 problem was reported in JAMAICA PLAIN, MA.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 19, 2008.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STEERING . as i pulled into a parking space, the engine died and flames about 2' tall shot out from between the hood and cowl and out of the intercooler inlet in the center of the hood. the flames were followed by about 10 seconds of a huge smoke cloud. it took me about 90 seconds to get a fire extinguisher and get the fire put out. i examined the damage. the pressure side power steering hose was rubbing against the sheet metal heat shield over the turbocharger. after a while, the relative motion and heat rubbed a hole in the power steering hose. the power steering hose then pumped power steering fluid all over the turbocharger, exhaust manifold, heat shields, hood, firewall, etc. when the power steering fluid hit the heat shields and exhaust, it started burning and this caused the fire. i have not finished repairing the vehicle yet so i don't know the complete extent of the damage. at this point, at least the power steering hose and fluid need to be changed. the pressure side power steering hose has no brackets to hold it in position within about 1' of the turbocharger heat shield. the outside of the hose is rubber. there is no heat shield over it. it is guaranteed to rub against the heat shield and fail this way. the power steering return hose also has no brackets within 1' of the turbocharger heat shield, but it does at least have a corrugated aluminum heat shield over it. *tr.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 121929 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Aug 19, 2008.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . as i pulled into a parking space, the engine died and flames about 2' tall shot out from between the hood and cowl and out of the intercooler inlet in the center of the hood. the flames were followed by about 10 seconds of a huge smoke cloud. it took me about 90 seconds to get a fire extinguisher and get the fire put out. i examined the damage. the pressure side power steering hose was rubbing against the sheet metal heat shield over the turbocharger. after a while, the relative motion and heat rubbed a hole in the power steering hose. the power steering hose then pumped power steering fluid all over the turbocharger, exhaust manifold, heat shields, hood, firewall, etc. when the power steering fluid hit the heat shields and exhaust, it started burning and this caused the fire. i have not finished repairing the vehicle yet so i don't know the complete extent of the damage. at this point, at least the power steering hose and fluid need to be changed. the pressure side power steering hose has no brackets to hold it in position within about 1' of the turbocharger heat shield. the outside of the hose is rubber. there is no heat shield over it. it is guaranteed to rub against the heat shield and fail this way. the power steering return hose also has no brackets within 1' of the turbocharger heat shield, but it does at least have a corrugated aluminum heat shield over it. *tr.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 121929 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2006.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . i am writing with respect to the investigations concerning fuel leaks in the 2002-2003 models of the subaru impreza wrx models. i purchased a wrx in february of 2003. like other reports, my car initially emitted a fuel odor only on cold days. i took the car to my local subaru dealership, bel air subaru, to have the problem investigated. they informed my that i had a faulty fuel line, replaced the fuel line, and charged me $800.00. the following week i still smelled fuel. i took the car back to the dealership; they informed me that they could not find another leak. i was told by the sales manager to "wait for the problem to fully manifest itself." in the meantime, i researched the issue on your website. my interpretation of the report was that this was not a safety concern, so i initially dropped the issue. however, as the problem progressed, the fuel leak began to occur even in warm weather and even when the engine was warm. now, approximately 18 months from the initial repair, i am being told by the dealership that i have a leak in my fuel hoses. the dealership insists that this is a separate repair issue that did not exist when they looked at the car the first time. again, i have been quoted a price of $800.00 to have the problem fixed. i am reluctant to spend $800.00 more dollars to try to eliminate the fuel leak after the results i got last time. in light of the fact that the fuel leaks in these vehicles progress to a leak that is no longer simply a cold weather problem, is this now considered a safety issue? subaru has been unhelpful in helping me solve this dilemma. can you help? *tr.Mileage was 65000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 04, 2008.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . i have a 2003 subaru wrx. my car started to smell like something was burning a few days ago in the engine bay. i have also noticed that when the temperature goes below 30 degrees the inside cabin starts to strongly smell like raw fuel. the vapors can cause harmful and even deadly consequences. i have done some research on this issue and it seems that its a widely common issue with subaru wrx's from 2002 to 2004. i took the car to a mechanic shop and got the car examined. the mechanic told me that the clamps that hold the gas lines intact were very loose. he said that the during high fuel pressure the fuel lines could separate and cause a engine fire. i have called subaru of america and they told me there's a bulletin on this issue. it seems that this can be a very dangerous safety issue, and it sounds to me that subaru of america is not willing to repair the $500 issue. i have noticed that there was another fuel issue with another subaru model (nhtsa campaign id number: 03v303000). the subaru outback had a recall because there was a loose clamp at the filler cap that could have caused a fuel leak. why is there no recall for the fuel leak in the wrxs? the leak happens very close to the engine. any type of heat or ignition could cause a fire or even death! please research this issue as it could become a very dangerous problem! *tr.Vehicle was on fire.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2008.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . i have a 2003 subaru wrx wagon. as temperatures approach freezing the fuel lines on the passenger side of the engine begin to leak, heavily, during cold start up. this causes raw fuel smell to enter the cabin as well as creating a potentially hazardous situation with raw fuel openly pooling on the engine. subaru and their dealers are aware of the situation and it is fixable, however it requires removal of the intake manifold - a very labor intensive job - which makes it a costly repair for the consumer to bear. i acquired the car last year and the problem occurred throughout last winter and has recurred already once this fall. *tr.Mileage was 85000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 15, 2009.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with TIRES . there has been no accident or crash. this is an ongoing safety problem with a model of tires. the tires are kumho spt 225/45r-17. these tires have serious directional stability issues. they make the car very scary to drive in cross winds. in corners, the car always feels like it is squirming around and you never really know what direction it is going to go. i've aligned the car twice, both times adding more rear toe in to increase stability. this has had almost no effect. i've tried a number of different tire pressures. higher pressures (above 40psi) help, but do not fix the problem. i've used several other type and brand of tires on the car and never had any stability issues with any of them. there is no problem with any of the components in the suspension system. i've spent over one month with kumho trying to resolve this problem with the tires. in that time, i have received a single one sentence response to my e-mails. kumho has repeatedly not returned the majority of my phone calls to resolve this problem. apparently they do not think there is a problem with the tires, as they have absolutely no interest in helping to figure out the problem or even looking at the tires. *tr.Mileage was 128305 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2003 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2014.SUBARU WRX 2003, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . on the morning of feb 3, 2014 i started my car and it smelled very strongly of raw gas. i turned off the car and had it towed to my local repair shop. the tow cost $84.70. i found out later that morning that subaru issued a recall beginning december 31, 2009 for 2002 and 2003 subaru wrxs where the fuel line leaks in extreme cold. unfortunately, the recall included only 16 states, and offered an extended warranty to the other 34 states not named in the recall (i reside in one of the 34 for the "extended warranty"). i promptly phoned subaru of america and my local dealership, webster groves subaru about the issue. the service department employee, [xxx], advised me to drive my vehicle over to have it checked out. considering this is talking about raw gas and at least one fire has been reported in relation to the recall, i do not agree with this suggestion. both subaru of america and the dealership affirmed that the car would have to be taken to a dealership to see if it might be considered for the recall. after directly telling [xxx] i will not drive the vehicle since it is dangerous (the recall even states that it is dangerous!), she agreed to call her district manager then return my call. this is not the whole of my concern. we have had colder weather all over the united states this year and i am very concerned about this issue. i was not notified of the extended warranty or the issue by subaru, and i gather other individuals were not as well and their safety could be at risk. while it would be ideal for subaru to pay for the necessary repairs to my vehicle, i ultimately hope they will notify all 2002 and 2003 subaru wrx owners of this potential hazard for the safety of everyone! this is not just a small optional recall, but one that could cause serious harm to drivers, their passengers and fellow drivers. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 127000 miles.
