The contact owns a 2009 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the transmission failed to properly shift. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the road and shut off the vehicle. Once the contact restarted the vehicle, the vehicle started operating normally; however, the vehicle stalled.

The firewall prevents the vehicle from engaging in gears while driving.
When attempting to fuel the vehicle (the tank was less than one-quarter full), the gas splashed back out of the vehicle on me and allover the ground. I tried several times to fuel, but the tank will not accept gas. This issue can cause injuries from the gasoline splash, and it can cause stranded drivers because the vehicle cannot be refueled. It must be investigated. There are plenty of forums online where people complain of the same issue in their 2009 Imprezas. . . There must be a known defective part, but Subaru is not recalling it? please investigate.
Started having issues getting the car into gear. Thought it might be the clutch brought it into a shop to get the clutch disc replaced. They determined that the issue was from a broken weld on the firewall.
Total engine failure due to rod knock / spun bearing due to manufacture to incorrect tolerances.
