2009 SUBARU WRX Engine Problems

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 100 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE. I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN 2 HOURS OF DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD WHIPPING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. SOUNDED LIKE A BELT SNAPPED AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE FOLLOWING SENSORS AND OTHER ISSUES OCCURRED: -CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON -P0011 DIAGNOSTIC READING: 'A CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING OVER ' ADVANCED SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 1' -TURBO NOT WORKING CORRECTLY -WHITE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST -TRACTION CONTROL WON'T COME OFF -SAYS PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF -SOMETIMES HAS HARD TIME STARTING -- I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR APRIL 10TH AT A AUTHORIZED SUBARU DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANICS DETERMINED THE TURBO CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE FAILED AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ($3000 DOLLAR ESTIMATE). I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT A MESSAGE AS DID SUBARU. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT RESPONDED BACK AND IS IGNORING MY...

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

I BOUGHT MY SUBARU IN FEBRUARY OF 2013 WITH APPROX 75000 MILES ON THE ODO. I BELIEVE THE DEFECT HAD ALREADY BEEN THERE WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND I HADN'T NOTICED IT UNTIL IT GOT SLIGHTLY WORSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CLUTCH FLEXES WHEN I PRESS EITHER OF THEM. PRESSING THE CLUTCH WILL MOVE THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THE DOWN POSITION APPROX. 1/3 OF AN INCH SAME WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE WELDS CONNECTING THE PEDAL BRACKET TO THE FIREWALL ARE NOT WELDED CORRECTLY. IT NEEDS TO BE REINFORCED BY SOMETHING ELSE TO ASSURE ME THAT THE CLUTCH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT MOVE WHILST DRIVING. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT THESE WELDS WILL BREAK. WHICH WILL MAKE ME UNABLE TO PRESS EITHER PEDAL AND I COULD LOSE MY ABILITY TO CLUTCH AND BRAKE. WHICH COULD RESULT...

09 SUBARU WRX WITH BROKEN WELDS ON THE FIREWALL. THIS IS CAUSING A LOUD POPPING WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. CLUTCH IS GETTING HARDER TO DEPRESS. *TR
