2 Car Stall problem of the 2010 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 07/31/2019

After 72 hours of my purchase of the 2010 Subaru Impreza wrx from Toyota boulder dealership located in boulder, colorado, I had experienced malfunctions with the starter of the vehicle. I had absolutely no fault in this situation, however I was simply misinformed and therefore purchased a vehicle that wasnt in adequate, safe conditions. On Tuesday I had experienced a lack of power when starting up the vehicle . I had no problems with the vehicle in the morning however around noon I had driven 10 miles from my work and had down shifted to 1 gear from 2nd and the vehicle stalled. The following day I had then tried to fire up the vehicle but it would not start. The electrical system was on par, the battery was at 86% of life which narrowed it down to either the starter or alternator. However by the looks and my knowledge of these types of vehicles I believe the root of the malfunction lies within the starter. The car was stationary the second time I had tried to start the vehicle.

6 Car Stall problem of the 2012 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 03/04/2019

I received a December 2018 recall notice for recall wty-84, NHTSA id 18v-772. When I called my dealer, northtown Subaru, amherst NY, they told me to call back in late February because they did not have parts yet. Now when I called (3/4/2019) they say they do not have the tools for the repair. They said try again in April. The recall notice said the recall service should be performed "immediately". It sounds like they are stalling so they do not have to make the repairs. I expect when I call in April they will have some other excuse. Please let me know if other Subaru dealers are making the repairs and if any are near the 14221 zip code. What can a car owner do if the dealers refuse to make recall repairs?.

Failure Date: 12/03/2018

When I reported this to the dealership they said that they would look at the problem and fix it. When the car was inspected it was found to have aftermarket parts that are not d. O. T. Legal and no c. A. R. B. Id's. All of these modifications were installed prior of me buying this vehicle and it was sold to me with a warrenty. I had complained about a smell of gas and a huge loss of oil before this happened but was told that is how a Subaru Impreza wrx sti runs. Also the dealership got a emmisions sticker for this car when it will not pass emissions with all of the afterarket parts. Nothing has been done to fix this problem and the dealership refuses to take any responsibility for this event.
