When depressing the clutch pedal, there is a squeak coming from under the dashboard within the footwell area. Squeak is constant. For Subaru has issued a service bulletin #12-190-15R to fix the clutch & brake pedal assembly for model years 2015-2016 but not before. It is my understanding that a crack in the assembly is causing this issue and if left unattended, ultimately could cause decreased or complete failure of the clutch and/or brake functionality. Subaru has redesigned the original part (#36004fg050) with a new one (#36004fg051) but has not offered to fix under an extended warranty. I feel this should be a lifetime part, which is critical to safely operating the vehicle, and any replacement cost to fix should be paid for by the manufacturer regardless of the vehicle's age. The attached picture is not from my car. I was able to find many of these photos on the internet as this is a very common problem.
The contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that there was about 3 inches of water on the floorboard underneath the front passenger's seat in the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that the leak was coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle near the wiring harnesses and the firewall however, the exact location of the leak was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
We were broadsided (T-boned) in an intersection with traffic lights. We were eastbound going 25mph & had just left home. Two blocks from my home as I proceeded through the green light and bam she hit my driver side. Recessing my front tire 3 or more inches in towards my engine. She was traveling southbound on the intersecting road. She must have been traveling 25 mph or more because damage continued all the way down the driver side (both doors) finishing on my rear tire where it bent it inwards as if it was a steering tire making a turn. The rear tire has a large gash in the side wall. The following where my wife's injuries as she was driving: Acute cervical myofascial strain, cervical strain, closed head injury, dysarthria, elbow contusion, headache, muscle tension headache, post concussion syndrome, and shoulder contusion. She received all these injuries because the side impact airbags did not deploy which has to be a major manufacturing flaw of some type. Please explain to me why this happened. The insurance adjuster has totaled my wife's car. It is a 2012 Subaru Impreza premium. I have included some documents/photos.
My wife was driving the car to a friend's house. As she entered the parking area, the car accelerated and crashed into the house. The front and side airbags came out. The only injury to her was a badly scraped right leg and chest pain. The house suffered damage.
The sunroof glass exploded as I was driving down the road in my 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX. No impact, calm weather (no debris flying around), no other vehicles nearby (that could have thrown a rock or something).
