Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A SUBARU DEALERSHIP FOR ALL MAINTENANCE SERVICES. THEY ADVISED ME TO REPLACE MY CLUTCH. I PAID FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE CLUTCH PEDAL. THE NOISE IS FROM A CRACKED FIREWALL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAVE TO SEND THE CAR AWAY TO BE RE WELDED AND IT WILL COST 1,900 DOLLARS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CRACKED FIREWALL ISSUE BECAUSE MY CLUTCH HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO TELL ME THIS. I AM ALSO EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I PAID 2,100 DOLLARS FOR A NEW CLUTCH WHICH DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE WHICH WAS THE NOISE FROM A CRACKED FIREWALL. I AM ALSO EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT THEIR ANSWER IS TO RE WELD. IF IT WERE TO BE RE WELDED THEN IT WILL CRACK AGAIN. IF I GOOGLE FIREWALL ISSUE WRX, THE RESULT COMES UP WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL NOTICE. *TR
