One problem related to exterior lighting has been reported for the 2009 Subaru Impreza. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2009 Subaru Impreza based on all problems reported for the 2009 Impreza.
1. The weakness (dimness) of the low beams is a dangerous situation. The assemblies are not dirty or oxidized; the low beam height was properly adjusted; tested the power going to each light and it showed 14 volts; bought some high power led bulbs which didn't help. I am very hesitant to spend up to $400 for new assemblies hoping that maybe it will fix the problem. I have adjusted the high beam level to the height of what the low beams were and now have to use the high beams as low beams to sufficiently see the road and now have no high beams if I need them. Subaru should be recalling and replacing these faulty assemblies immediately. 2. Wheel lugs shear off when being removed. When the lug nuts were put on, they were tightened with a torque wrench to manufacturer specifications. This is the only vehicle (out of the 13 I have owned) I have ever had this problem with. Subaru should be recalling and replacing lugs immediately with lugs of proper materials immediately.
