Takata recall i purchased this car six months ago from a small dealeership in vacaville, ca. i paid half the price for the car in cash the day i bought it after they assured me that it cleared the state inspection. not even 4000 miles after i purchased this vehicle the motor is blown and there is the takata recall from 2016 that has not been handled. i just purchased the car in 09/2017.
Smell of leaking gas fumes. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 subaru impreza. the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the engine and brake warning lights. the vehicle was able to be restarted; however, the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer. the dealer diagnosed that the ignition coil needed to be replaced. the ignition coil was replaced twice because the failure recurred after the first replacement. the manufacturer was not notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 60,000. updated 06/16/14*lj
I was driving along in my subaru impreza wrx sti at approx. 45 mph when my car had the oil light, check engine light, and cruise control light (flashing) come on. when i towed the car to the dealer to be inspected they found the oil pickup tube was broken in two pieces near the oil pump starving the engine/turbo of oil, causing catastrophic engine failure. the vehicle will need an entire new engine (long block) and likely a new turbo. after doing some research i have found this to be a very frequent issue and hopefully will be addressed asap. from my understanding, subaru is still having these failures in the newer model cars also. *js
