problem #1

Impreza 2.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 986 miles

The car just keeps revving up to 3000 rpm's when I push the clutch in. We have taken to the dealer twice now and this last time they told us they don't know why it is doing it but I should just drive it until it blows. Never believed in getting a lemon but I am warming up to the idea.
