2013 Subaru Impreza

MY CARS BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. MY CAR WILL LOSE POWER ON THE ROAD TO WHERE IT WILL COMPLETELY DIE AND I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO KEEP GOING. MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT IS ON MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHTS ARE ON EVEN THOUGH TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I CANNOT GET MY CAR INTO GEAR. IT WILL MAKE A VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND THEN A WHIZZING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE AIR CONDITIONER ON AND THEN YOU GET NO POWER AT ALL TO THE CAR. I CANNOT GO UP A STEEP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY GO UP TO 35 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN IT LOSES POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE TO THE RESTART THE CAR THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OCS MALFUNCTIONS WITH TERRIFYING FREQUENCY. THE CAR WILL BE IN MOTION WITH THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OCCUPIED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE AGAIN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I HAVE SEEN MANY POSTS DETAILING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. SUBARU HAS RECALLED OTHER CARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY 2013 IMPREZA NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

I RECENTLY BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE WITH MY 2013 IMPREZA - IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE DETECTION SYSTEM WOULD FAILED TO DETECT THE PASSENGER, AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT ACTIVATED. I HAD THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED WHILE IN FOR MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE, AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM. OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS, THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE INCREASED, TO THE POINT THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS RARELY ACTIVATED. I UNDERSTAND THE OCCUPANCY DETECTION SYSTEM IS UNDER RECALL FOR SUBARU'S FORESTER MODEL; THOUGH MY SEATS ARE NOT HEATED, AND MY CAR IS SLIGHTLY OLDER, MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME MALFUNCTION, I BELIEVE IT TOO SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND REPAIRED BY SUBARU.

THE CAR BROKE DOWN NOV. 2018 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. DEALER REPLACED VALVE BODY. CAR WAS USING A LOT OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT, DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAID "JUST KEEP ADDING OIL." CAR STARTED PUTTING OUT BLUE CLOUD FROM EXHAUST WHEN STARTED. ASKED DEALER SERVICE DEPT, THEY SAID "SUBARUS DO THAT. JUST KEEP ADDING OIL." HAD RECALL WORK DONE MARCH 2019: VALVE SPRING REPLACEMENT. AGAIN ASKED ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION. SERVICE DEPT. RECOMMENDED ADDING OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. LABOR DAY 2019 CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN WITH SAME DASH INDICATORS FLASHING AS IN NOV. 2018. CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MOVING FORWARD AT 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY STREET 150 MILES FROM HOME. DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAID TIMING CHAIN HAD JUMPED, ENGINE FAILED. ACCORDING TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND SAID "ENGINE IS OIL DEPRIVED." CAR NOW NEEDS A NEW ENGINE.DEALER HAD PROMISED TO FIX IF ISSUE FROM 2018 RETURNED. THE DEALER DID NOT HONOR THE PROMISE. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AND STARTED MAKING BAD NOISE FROM MOTOR. LOST POWER. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 2 YRS AGO WIYH AROUND 52000 MILES ON IT. THEN SUBARU FIXED IT. THIS TIME THEY ARE USING ALL SORTS OF EXCUSES. TO GET OUT OF FIXING IT UNLESS I PAY AN UNDEFINED AMOUNT. ..JUST AS LAST TIME I HAD ALL MY MAINTENANCE LOGGED. THAT ISNT IN QUESTION BUT BEC THERE ARE HEAT SHIELDS THAT WERE RATTLING I JUST TOOK OFF AND SOME BOLTS I REPLACED LIKE WHEN I PUT A NEW EXHAUST FLANGE GASKET. THEY WANT TO GET OUT OF IT BY SAYING IT LOOKS AS IF IT COULD HAVE HAD PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS ON IT.
