I was driving home and heard loud creaking and grinding noises from the front of the car, especially when I was turning or braking. I did use it the next day and it sounded worse. I brought the car to my local repair shop and was told that the problem was a crack in the front sub frame. I did not have an accident or hit anything.

My sister and I have the same exact car just one year apart and they both stall when coming to a stop even though the car is an automatic. The brake light blinks, the cruise control light blinks and is unable to be used, the traction control light stays on, and the check engine light comes on. It has been like this for several years now and ive tried to troubleshoot many things to fix it, but nothing has worked. The lights stay on constantly making it unable for me to use my cruise control and the car to stall when coming to a stop at any speed. I also know several others with the same model that have had this issue and also see videos of this happening to other people on youtube and them being unsure of the problem to fix it.

There was a recall with this model and year and they told me my car wasn't included in the recall when its doing exactly what the recall was for. I have no horn, cruise control, no radio controls and I don, T know if the air bag works. This car is dangerous to drive and Subaru refuses to repair I was told it would be $200. Plus just to diagnose it when they already know what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Car drops RPM and stumbles to almost stalling during breaking at city speeds also does the same in low speed reverse situation like parking. Dash lights up but no code stored. This is the third time this issue has presented itself. I spoke to a dealer reference the reverse issue and was told that there was nothing wrong with the car. Subaru claims to be one of the safest vehicles on the road? this is not safe. The chance of being rear ended at highway speed could be deadly!
