19 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2008 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 12/03/2007

I started to get a film on the windshield of my 2008 Subaru. I took it into the dealership and they did a test and found a problem with the a/c unit; they told me the film on the windshield was safe and car was safe to drive. I took the car in again while they were waiting for parts, for another issue, and I requested a copy of the tech notes and the film that was on the windshield was freon!- health hazard. They fixed this problem with the freon film, and now not a month later its back, and worse. I again took it into the dealer and he told me this is natural, that the gas in the upholstery needed to get out and that the gas is again safe. I asked the salesmen that I got the car from,he never heard of this. Still not fixed as this is a natural issue,there is also a foul odor coming out of the ac/heater system. I have also had issues with the traction control when activated the vehicle loses power in all of vehicle, has a loud noise coming form the right side of the car when the system is engaged; nav system when its turned on will go to blank white screen,will also not respond sometimes; need seat belt system replaced on the passenger side, was retracting when not needed; issues starting- hard crank over, sometimes had to repeat to start,or turn key over for long period of time. I am now having health issues as I drive the car everyday for hours. I have almost been in many accidents due to this issue. Wiping off don't help.

21 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2002 Subaru Impreza

Failure Date: 01/01/2005

2002 Subaru Impreza wrx - I was taking my five yr. Old grandson home when we became aware of a heavy smell in the car. I thought it smelled like antifreeze, but he said 'gas' mamaw. I hurried to get him home, and before I got back home my throat was sore and my nose bothered me from the awful fumes. My husband took the car to the dealer today and they may call back when they get their loaner freed up but I don't think we are big on the priority list. They said antifreeze was leaking from the rear of the engine. It has 55,000 or so miles on it now.
