Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE FIRE WALL. EVERY TIME I PRESS MY CLUTCH PEDAL THERE IS FLEXING IN THE ASSEMBLY AND MAKES A LOUD CRACK/SQUEAK SOUND. ITS A DAILY DRIVER VEHICLE SO ITS NEVER BEEN RACED OR TRACKED. DUE TO THIS FIRE WALL CRACK (WHICH MIGHT BE DANGEROUS IN FIRE/ACCIDENT) MY TRANSMISSION GEARS AND SYNCROS HAVE BEEN WORN OUT DUE TO THE CLUTCH NOT RELEASING PROPERLY. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD HOPE THAT SUBARU OF AMERICA WILL ONE DAY MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS TERRIBLE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A HUGE DEFECT LIKE THIS, THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE FOR MANY REASONS AND IS WEARING OUT MY INTERNAL COMPONENTS EVERY DAY. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR
