2013 Subaru Impreza

WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS OFF. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE SRS LIGHT WAS OFF, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS ON. SEVERAL MILES LATER, THE CONDITION REPEATED ITSELF. REPEATED THIS PROCESS TWO MORE TIMES WITH THE SRS WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AGAIN BOTH TIMES. I ASKED MY PASSENGER TO TRANSFER TO THE REAR SEAT. THE SRS WARNING LIGHT DID NOT GO ON ANYMORE. IT HAS BEEN TWO DAYS SINCE THE INCIDENT AND THE SRS LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON EVEN WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THIS HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO BUT I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT WHEN THE CONDITION CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON.

FAINT WHIRRING NOISE NOTED, NO OTHER PROBLEMS- NO CHANGE TO PERFORMANCE, NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING PROBLEM BUT WHEN BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK TOLD TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT $ 7902.88 NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR PREVIOUSLY, HAD ROUTINE OIL CHANGES (ALTHOUGH ONE TIME WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OIL LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING OIL WAS LOW BUT IT WAS ONLY 1500 MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGE- BROUGHT IN AND HAD THAT TAKEN CARE OF), THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT EITHER. I AM PERPLEXED BY THE NEED FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN IT IS A 2013 AND HAS NO ISSUES OTHER THAN WHAT WAS STATED HERE. I STILL OWN $9200 ON IT. IT HAS JUST UNDER 74,000 MILES ON IT ( HIGHWAY COMMUTE).

DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN VERY COLD WEATHER (5F). WINDSHIELD MADE A POPPING SOUND . THE CAR WAS PARKED A WEEK LATER WHEN THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A SPONTANEOUS CRACK ALONG THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. OTHER FOLKS ARE REPORTING A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

3 X IN 10 DAYS, I START THE CAR AND THE STEERING IMMEDIATELY FEELS WRONG AND CONTINUES UNTIL I TURN IT OFF. I HAVE TO GRIP THE WHEEL MORE FIRMLY, THE TIRES ALMOST FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO PULL AWAY FROM ME; TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS BUMPY, LIKE SOMETHING IS CLICKING OVER KNUCKLES, OR COGS. NO LEAKING FLUID HAS BEEN SEEN, OR NOISE, ALTHOUGH THIS EVENING WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVE, THERE WAS BRIEFLY A LOW, RUBBER AND AGN RUBBER SOUND (NO METAL SOUND, NO SQUEAK) THE DEALER SAID THEY DROVE MY CAR THIS MORNING, CHECKED EVERYTHING, SAW NOTHING WRONG, SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT TO COME IN AGAIN WHEN IT HAPPENS NEXT....BUT THEY AREN'T OPEN 24/7 AND ARE 15 MINUTES AWAY ON HILLS AND IN TRAFFIC. IN BETWEEN THE 3 INCIDENTS, THE CAR HAS DRIVEN NORMALLY. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2013,, AND HAS A BIT OVER 112,000 MILES ON IT. CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST SOMETHING FOR ME TO PASS ON TO THE DEALERSHIP'S REPAIR DEPARTMENT- THEY SEEM SINCERE IN THEIR EFFORTS TO HELP. *TR
