Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I called Subaru almost 5 months ago when I came across there was a recall on brakes since we were having the issue of the brakes flashing and the vehicle not shifting. Manufacturer recall #: wue90 on 2-28-19. Nhtsa recall #: 19v149000. When I called they said they did not have the parts yet to fix. On 8-29-19 the car was in an accident and brakes light was chiming and flashing earlier and may be related to why it did not stop in time and was involced in a rear end crash when driver in front slammed on brakes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11253629, filed 2019-09, 155,000 miles“Several hours after having work performed on my car, I was turning left from one road to another, both with speed limits around 40 MPH. While turning left and simultaneously shifting from 4th to 2nd gear. While traveling about 15 MPH in the middle of the turn, the steering wheel locked and I became aware that the car had stalled. I had to pull the emergency brake to stop the car and skidded off the road, which caused the car behind me to brake suddenly in the middle of an intersection. I was able to restart the car immediately. …”
NHTSA complaint #11376570, filed 2020-11, 101,000 miles“The firewall welds have failed and broken, resulting in structural failure of the clutch and brake pedal mounts. This leads to the clutch not being able to be fully and properly depressed, resulting in hard gear shifts, grinding, excess transmission wear, as well as the brake pedal and clutch pedal moving when depressed, which is obviously a safety hazard if the pedals move where they shouldn't without being purposefully adjusted. When the clutch is depressed, the brake pedal moves to the left, toward the clutch pedal at least an inch. …”
NHTSA complaint #11162011, filed 2018-12, 90,000 miles“During normal use of the clutch on the street , the firewall welds brake off causing the firewall to bend. Also effects the clutch pedal making it 'click' if not fixed can cause more damage.”
NHTSA complaint #11156870, filed 2018-12“Fire wall where the clutch master cilinder sits moves in and out when clutch is depressed making a cracking noice, and causing fire wall metal tomexpand”
