2012 Subaru Impreza Fuel system Problems

“I purchased this car brand new from the dealership in january 2012 and have consistently added 1 quart +/- approximately every 1,200 miles, more often and increased added oil volume during extended driving times. I have spoken directly with Subaru dealers/service managers in 3 different california cities whom have been alerted to this oil consumption issue and have casually explained the consumption of 3-5 quarts of oil between changes as normal. …”

“My daughter was driving the car after getting off work at !:30 am when the engine stalled and the car would not restart. From time to time since I purchased this car new, the engine would sputter while driving. It turns out that there was a cut in the fuel filter. Our mechanic said it was unlikely that it happened any time except when the filter and fuel pump were installed by the manufacturer. There are many complaints about this car using oil...mine does too.”

“Driving about 30 - 35mph when all of a sudden the car lost power. The car did not stall, but engine went down to idle speed and my accelerator pedal had no throttle control. The check engine light came on as well as the traction control light. I drifted to the right shoulder of the road and turned engine off. After opening the hood to check engine - observed nothing unusual - I re-started the car. The car seemed back to normal, but the engine code lights stayed on. The warning lights eventually turned themselves off - 3 or 4 re-starts later. …”

“Driving home on 12/11/16, the check engine, vehicle dynamics control, and cruise control indicators came on simultaneously. Check engine and vdc indicators were steady, but cruise control was blinking. The next morning when I started the car, the problem was still there so I immediately went to Subaru to have it checked out. They discovered code p1449: evap system clugged check & found spider webs is evap drain & valve assy. Tech recommend replace evap drain & valve assy. They replaced evap drain & valve assembly and performed evap system clean reinstall which fixed the issue. …”

“While driving in normal circumstances, engine power was lost, and complete loss of throttle control occurred. Car would accelerate extremely slowly, and not past 20-25 MPH (presumably 'engine fail-safe mode'?). Thankfully not on a high-speed road. Obd code was p2138, indicating a faulty accelerator position sensor, which was replaced by dealer under warranty.”
