2013 Subaru Impreza

IGNITION MECHANISM WILL NOT FULLY ROTATE COMPLETELY TO ALLOW KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION HOUSING. CAR TURNS OFF BUT KEY WILL NOT RELEASE. UNKNOWN WHAT EVENTUALLY RELEASES THE MECHANISM FOR THE KEY TO TURN AND COME OUT BUT USUALLY TAKES SOME MINUTES, DOORS OR ELECTRIC LOCKS OPEN/CLOSE, STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVING MORE... DON'T KNOW. ALL HAS WORKED AND NOT WORKED.

WARNING LAMPS FOR STABILITY CONTROL AIR BAG RANDOMLY LIGHT UP ON MY DASH BOARD PANEL. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL ALSO SWITCH TO OFF EVEN WHEN A PASSER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT OR THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING SOUND WILL GO OFF IF A SMALL OBJECT IS PLACED ON THE SEAT. MY MECHANIC CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE AS I CANNOT RECREATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CAUSE THE LAMPS TO SWITCH ON OR THE WARNING SIREN TO CHIME. COMPUTER READINGS DO NOT RETURN ANY "CODES" IF THE LAMPS AREN'T ON.

TO START OFF I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE FELT MY CLUTCH STARTING TO SHIFT THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH FLYWHEEL AND THROTTLE BEARING. TOOK IT TO A INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BEARING WHICH WAS COMPLETELY WARPED CLUTCH WAS GOOD BUT REPLACED ANYWAY BECAUSE AT THAT POINT WHY NOT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT. CALLED SUBARU NOTHING WAS DONE. ALSO JUST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE.

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FOR YEARS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 4 YEARS AND THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE IT, AND OFTEN STATE THAT THERE IS NO RECORD OF OTHERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, THE CAR DOESNT REGISTER THEM AND THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. WHETHER THE SEAT IS DAMP OR BONE DRY, MOVING OR NOT, IT STILL FAILS MOST OF THE TIME, WHICH IS VERY WORRISOME. WHILE THE 2012 MODEL HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THE 2013 HAS NOT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY USE THE SAME EXACT TECHNOLOGY. THIS HAS MADE ME UNLIKELY TO BUY ANOTHER SUBARU IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS ISSUE. THE 2012 WAS RECALLED, PLEASE RECALL THE 2013 ALSO BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR HAS A SERIOUS INJURY!

I JUST REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT FOR REVERSE LOCK (UNABLE TO PULL OUT) FOR THE SECOND TIME. NO OTHER BELTS ARE AFFECTED. PARKED THE CAR UNHOOKED THE BELT. UPON RETURNING THE BELT WOULD NOT PULL OUT. WHICH OF COURSE REQUIRES THE PASSENGER TO NOT BE RESTRAINED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ASSUMED THE BELT WAS WORN OUT, OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I REPLACED IT MYSELF. THE REPLACEMENT LASTED ABOUT TWO YEARS. NOW I HAVE TO BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AIRBAG PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHENEVER THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING, THE AMBER INDICATOR LIGHT IS IN THE 'OFF' POSITION AND THERE IS A RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE PASSENGER IS DRY OR DAMP, IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR DRIVING ON THE STREET/HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES, WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER AND I PLACE MY CELL PHONE ON THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT TURNS ON AS IF THERE IS A PASSENGER. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. NICE TO KNOW THAT SUBARU CARES SO MUCH ABOUT 'SAFETY'. THE 2012 WAS RECALLED, PLEASE RECALL THE 2013 ALSO BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR HAS A SERIOUS INJURY!

I REALLY FEEL MY 2013 IMPREZA SHOULD FALL INTO THE TAKATA RECALL. I MADE SURE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE DOING SIMILAR THINGS PRESENTED FOR THOSE CURRENTLY IN THE RECALL. THE FIRST TIME I HAVE PROOF OF MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS 7.4.2016 AT 45,896 MILES. AT THE TIME, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT UNLESS THE LIGHT WAS LIT (WHICH IT WAS NOT) AND SUGGESTED THE SEAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WET. MOST RECENTLY, I HAVE HAD A FRONT PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT SWITCHED TO OFF AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I PURCHASED MY SUBARU FOR THE SAFETY AND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY IF FOR SOME REASON I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONTINUING DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON CAUSED ME A GREAT DEAL OF ANXIETY FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. I LIKE TO THINK I AM A GOOD DRIVER, BUT I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF A DEFECT OF MY VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING A PRECIOUS PASSENGER. PLEASE TRY TO REVIEW MORE OF THESE CASES AND UPDATE THE RECALL LIST. FOR THE FIRST DOCUMENTED INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS IN A DRIVEWAY AND PARKED WITHOUT A PASSENGER. THESE LAST COUPLE OF INCIDENCES HAVE BEEN BOTH PARKED AND IN MOTION ALONG ROADWAYS RANGING FROM 50-70MPH.
