Consumer Description

FIRST AT ALL MERRY CHRISTMAS! ILL TRY MY BEST TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CAR. ITS 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION . ON MY WAY HOME TO SEE MY FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS HEARD LOUD POP SOUND FROM UNDER THE DASH. KINDA SCARED ME BUT AFTER THE INSPECTION DIDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE. TURNED THE ENGINE ON AGAIN BUT NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT MY CLUTCH PEDAL DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME. ( I HAVE STOCK CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION) RIGHT NOW CLUTCH PEDAL MAKES SQUEEZING NOISE, AND MY BRAKE PEDAL MOVES WHEN I PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL . AT HOME OPENED THE HOOD AND ASKED MY DAD TO PUSH THE CLUTCH PEDAL COUPLE TIMES, NOTICED THAT CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER IS NOTICEABLY MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE. CHECKED ONLINE FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND REALIZED MY FIREWALL WELDS ARE CRACKED FROM UNDER THE DASH , WELL NOT THE BEST FIND BUT ITS CHRISTMAS SO JUST TRIED TO GO OVER IT AND WRITE YOU THIS EMAIL. HERE'S THE SITE I WAS TALKING ABOUT HTTP://FORUMS.NASIOC.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2499917&HIGHLIGHT=08-10+WRX&PAGE=9 JUST COPY-PASTE THE LINK PLEASE. SAYING "CHASSIS FATIGUE AND CRACKING RESULTING IN DAMAGE/POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF DRIVER CONTROLS." THIS IS MY FIRST SUBARU AND IM REALLY HAPPY WITH THE CAR , HOPEFULLY YOU GUYS CAN HELP ME OUT , THANK YOU VERY MUCH! *TR
