Subaru Wrx 2008 Fuel/propulsion System Review #10496665

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 02, 2013.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . for the last month or so i had smelled gas fumes periodically when the my car was idling. a few days ago the car went into limp mode. i had the ecu code read at a local store and the technician there stated that the engine code was "p0171 system too lean (bank 1)". on monday i took the car to the local dealer. their diagnosis was that the fuel line was deteriorating and needed replacement. they also indicated that the fuel line was leaking. their explanation for the engine code was that while the car was running the fuel pressure expanded the fuel line. this expansion eventually reduced the fuel pressure to the point that the fuel injectors were not receiving adequate fuel and the ecu threw a code. while i do not know why the fuel line degraded, and there could be a number of causes, it does seem premature. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 121475 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 29, 2012.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . the clutch pedal on my 2008 impreza wrx feels gritty and makes a loud creaking noise every time it's depressed. when i investigated the noise, i noticed that the entire clutch pedal bracket assembly (attached to the forward firewall) shifts approx 1/4 inch every time the clutch pedal is depressed. i found that the three spot welds securing the clutch pedal bracket to the forward firewall were broken. from the outside of the firewall, just under the windshield wipers, i saw the spot welds pulling away from the firewall every time the clutch pedal was depressed. this allows the entire clutch pedal bracket assembly to move, causing the creaking noise. if the bracket completely separates from the firewall, the clutch may become completely inoperative - especially dangerous while driving..Mileage was 42000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2011.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . my clutch pedal has been clicking at the extent of depressing the pedal since i bought the car from a subaru dealership two years ago. i didn't think much of it because of how regularly it happened. about a month ago, it started to get louder and also began squeaking. i took it to a nearby dealership and they informed me it was probably a cracked weld on the firewall, which they had seen before. my car is just out of warranty, but they would not fix the problem even though it had been happening long before the warranty expired. the dealership quoted me $1,200 - $1,500, which is outrageous for something that is apparently a known issue with this model subaru. i learned that this is a well documented issue and i am going to take my case up with subaru. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2012.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . about a year ago i started hearing a creaking noise. only recently the noise had gotten worse so being a mechanic myself i decided i would take a few days and remove my dash board to pinpoint the noise since it had gotten worse lately. after removing the dash i could clearly see that the pedal assembly was bolted to a thin bracket that was welded to the main body frame. when i removed the pedals the bracket just fell right out. no weld was holding my clutch and brake pedal. i was amazed that the assembly never fell off while i was driving it for a year. mind you the clutch was original and modifications was a simple air cleaner. i decided to rescuer it to the frame with machine nuts and bolts. after i assembled it there was still play in the pedal assembly and only a few weeks later the noise had returned. i guess the bracket needs to be secured better but this is why i'm concerned. one the noise is unbearable and two it's just not safe it could brake off again the move the brake pedal enough to cause someone to miss the pedal and accelerate into an accident. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2012.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the clutch pedal on my 2008 wrx would make a loud creaking noise every time it's depressed. recently, the creaking went away, but it began to become increasingly difficult to get into gear and shift gears. i investigated the noise and noticed that the entire clutch pedal bracket assembly (attached to the forward firewall) shifts approx. one half inch every time the clutch pedal is depressed. i found that the three spot welds securing the clutch pedal bracket to the forward firewall were broken. from the outside of the firewall, just under the windshield wipers, i saw the spot welds pulling away from the firewall every time the clutch pedal was depressed. this allows the entire clutch pedal bracket assembly to move along with the firewall. if the bracket completely separates from the firewall, the clutch will become completely inoperative - especially dangerous while driving. my vehicle is a 2008 with only 70,000 miles. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 06, 2014.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . spot welds on the clutch pedal bracket attached to the firewall have cracked causing a distinct squeaking noise and hard shifting. mechanic told me that the bracket separation is pushing against the clutch, causing a sideways push into the clutch master cylinder. this does not allow for full engagement of the clutch when shifting gears and is flexing the master cylinder, causing additional stress and damage. additionally, the brake pedal is being depressed by approximately 1/2" during every clutch engagement. subaru of america is only offering to cover 50% of the work to correct their design/manufacturing defect. this is ridiculous. no vehicle should experience firewall damage at any mileage, let alone a defect so dangerous that it impacts shifting and breaking. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 07, 2014.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i recognized a squeaking sound every time i depressed my clutch to shift the car. having had an oil change, i wasn't scheduled for car maintenance for 3 months or 3,000 miles. when i took my car to my mechanic for service, i asked them to check the squeaking sound. the technician found a that the structure of the firewall at the clutch and brake pedal assembly was failing - the spot welds were shattered. the technician removed the wiper blade assembly and found that the pedal assembly flexes to the point of moving the firewall out at the clutch master and that the firewall is cracked at the clutch cylinder. after researching the issue, the technician learned the problem is inherent in this particular year and model, as well as in the 2009 model. the technician recommends removing the dashboard, brake booster, master cylinder, and clutch cylinder in order to identify and weld the broken pieces of the bracket that should be holding the clutch pedal assembly in place. this requires only welding and replacing the clutch pedal assembly, as well as flushing the brake and clutch fluid. the overall concern with this structural failure is that the degradation of the firewall and clutch assembly will create an issue where my safety is at risk when i lose the ability to drive the vehicle because shifting will fail. in a low or high speed situation, i would need to down or up shift my car to help avoid collision or lessen the impact of a collision. without this ability, i put my life, my passenger's life and other drivers' lives in danger. given that this is a widespread issue with the make, model and year, i believe subaru should issue a recall. i am especially concerned to find that my particular car is on the pull down menu with the ntsb, and until my car started to fail, i heard nothing from the ntsb, subaru or the dealerships regarding this issue. response expected. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 42000 miles.

SUBARU WRX 2008 car safety problem was reported on Nov 08, 2014.SUBARU WRX 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . i have taken my car to a subaru dealership for all maintenance services. they advised me to replace my clutch. i paid for clutch replacement. this did not fix the noise that came from the clutch pedal. the noise is from a cracked firewall. the dealership told me i have to send the car away to be re welded and it will cost 1,900 dollars. i am extremely disappointed with this cracked firewall issue because my clutch has been making noise for a very long time and the dealership had multiple opportunities to tell me this. i am also extremely disappointed that i paid 2,100 dollars for a new clutch which did not fix the issue which was the noise from a cracked firewall. i am also extremely disappointed that their answer is to re weld. if it were to be re welded then it will crack again. if i google firewall issue wrx, the result comes up with numerous complaints. this is a major safety concern and this needs to be a recall notice. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JF1GH75618G.

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.

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
