Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 23RD, I HAD MY SON, TAKE HIS SUBARU WRX TO BROWN'S SUBARU IN MANASSAS, VA FOR AN OIL & FILTER CHANGE AND TO HAVE FIXED AN ANNOYING CLICK SOUND WHICH OCCURS EACH TIME THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. BROWN'S DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH MOUNTING TO THE FIREWALL WAS CRACKED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE FIXED OR THE CLUTCH & BRAKE PEDALS WOULD BREAK AWAY. I RESEARCHED THE CLUTCH PROBLEM LAST NIGHT. THE CRACK IN THE MOUNTING OF THE CLUTCH TO THE FIREWALL IS A DEFECT KNOWN TO SUBARU OF AMERICA. ALL WRX'S FROM 2008 FORWARD HAVE THIS ISSUE NO RECALL. IF IT IS NOT FIXED, THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND BRAKE WHICH ARE ON THE SAME MOUNTING WILL BREAK AWAY COMPLETELY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
