Consumer Description

I RECENTLY STARTED HAVING A CREAKING NOISE EVERY TIME I WOULD DEPRESS THE CLUTCH ON MY 2009 WRX SEDAN. WHEN I PUSH THE CLUTCH IN I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ALSO MOVE APPROXIMATELY A OF AN INCH. WHAT REALLY GOT ME WORRIED WAS SEEING THE FIREWALL FLEXING AND MOVING. THE MASTER CYLINDER BRACE WAS ALSO MOVING AROUND AS THE CLUTCH WAS BEING PRESSED. I WAS ABLE TO SEE BOTH BY HAVING THE WINDOW COWL OFF AND HOOD OPENED. AFTER THAT HAPPENED I WENT ONLINE AND SAW THAT OTHER 2008+ WRX OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS FAILING/BROKEN FIREWALL SPOT WELDS. *TR
