Owners/service Manual Problems of Subaru Impreza

I had purchased a Subaru Impreza 2017 in June of 2017. Since leaving the parking lot with the car I've experienced all the info entertainment issues. I have a weird engine ticking noise. The vehicle will continue to accelerate. It has never gone out of control. However the �forward� momentum/ inertia that's created by the engine doesn't disperse correctly thru the exhaust as it should. The vehicle is a 5 speed manual and if I don't shift down to neutral when stoping then I won't stop where I'm judging to. The car will feel as if it's sliding over the brakes. You also may have to power brake with the clutch as I do regularly. Since having all these issues. When ever I'd go to a dealer they would say some jargon about how if they have to turn a screw that's not a part of the part being fixed under warranty or a recall then that would have to be paid for. I was told I can have my car serviced but they don't know what they will have to do. Pretty much taking me for a ride of �fear mongering� and saying put your hand on this table and let's play the knife game. . . Poke! I would be put in a very tough situation with no guarantee. The dealer did this so they wouldn't have to do work and not get paid. Because they loose money as a dealer for recall work. They are not Subaru at all. All in all now I'm told to have my car taken to service for all the numerous recalls/lawsuits attached to my car. Even tho now I'm past my warranty (120,000). And there saying the same bs as they will charge for everything not associated to the effected parts. All necessary means to address the effected parts should be associated with the recall. I have been scamed. The whole time every issue was either under warranty or recall and they never honor it. If they do. They will fix whatever has a scratch and charge you saying it was required. It's all a game. They are con artists!!!.

Several hours after having work performed on my car, I was turning left from one road to another, both with speed limits around 40 mph. While turning left and simultaneously shifting from 4th to 2nd gear. While traveling about 15 mph in the middle of the turn, the steering wheel locked and I became aware that the car had stalled. I had to pull the emergency brake to stop the car and skidded off the road, which caused the car behind me to brake suddenly in the middle of an intersection. I was able to restart the car immediately. Immediately after the incident, I had the car thoroughly inspected and no mechanical issues were found. The reason suspected for this was due to a design flaw in the throttle position sensor, which in certain Subarus can reset after the car's battery has been disconnected (to perform service on the car, in this case). When the sensor is reset, the car will tend to stall when the rpms drop, either when coming to a stop light or downshifting in manual transmission cars. This is a known issue reported by many owners and mechanics. I was advised by a Subaru dealer that the Subaru relearn idle procedure needs to be performed to restore proper idle performance after the battery has been disconnected. I have experienced my car stalling several times over the years due to this issue, but never before while the car was in motion. It has been inspected multiple times and no mechanical issues related to this issue have been found. I believe this is extremely dangerous, in particular in cases where the car can stall while in motion and especially while turning, as it can easily cause a serious accident. Further, this is not a highly predictable issue and it's not always clear to me as the owner of the car when the relearn idle procedure needs to be performed.

About 50% of time when I attempt to shut down the ignition and remove the key the key won't turn all the way to "off". I can't remove the key an must turn it back to the "run" position and try to get the key to turn to the "off" position. The vehicle is in the stationary position with the transmission lever in "park". I follow the operator's manual instruction to push in the key when turning it to "off"; I've also tried not pushing the key in when trying to turn it to the "off" position to no avail. My Subaru dealer service manager said that this problem is not known to him. Cause unknown.

Manual transmission 2008 Subaru Impreza wrx, have trouble switching gears, and specifically putting vehicle in reverse from a cold start. For a while heard a popping noise when pushing the clutch down. But switching gears is very difficult/clunky and placing the vehicle in reverse from a cold start is extremely difficult. After doing research this appears to be related to Subaru bulletin 12-184-15 (an issue with welds on the firewall). The brackets/welds on the firewall seem to be breaking/are broken.

December 19, 2013, I purchased a Subaru Impreza from koeppel Subaru in long island city, n. Y. The dealership told me the car was "brand new" and used only for test drives. After 5 months of driving the car, the car began to have problems to start. Putting the key in the ignition, there was no response. The car door had to be opened manually. The airbag warning light on the passenger side would not go off regardless of the seat being empty or occupied. Someone gave me a "boost" which started the car. I was able to drive and then parked the car. I went on vacation for two weeks. After the car being unused for two weeks, again the car would not start. I informed the dealership of this problem and was advised by them to have the car towed to any Subaru dealership for repair. The car was towed to bayridge Subaru which evaluated the car and said that the car had a dead cell in the battery. Subaru dealers were informed in April of 2013 that Impreza had a defect which cause electrical problems in the car leading to the battery dying and engine problems. Koeppel Subaru did not inform me of this recall before I purchased the car in December of 2013. They also did not inform me that the car was previously corporate owned. I believe that koeppel should have informed me about the recall as well as the fact that it was used as a "loaner" before I purchased the car. I believe koeppel Subaru committed consumer fraud by not informing me of the recall and the car's history before purchase. I do not feel safe driving the car and simply want a refund of my down payment ($5,000) and car payments made up to current date. Koepell Subaru should be investigated for their practices in selling used cars. I refuse to pay bayridge Subaru $35/day for storage of this unsafe car. Koeppel Subaru is in violation of consumer protection law.
