1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2010

I own a 02 wrx I live in armidale australia. I just spent a lot of money fixing this problem. Please be careful when the car heats up it can burn out the exhaust sensor and cause major problems with the turbo. I notice once there was no sensor left it gave my car computer nothing to go off . In result costing me 3000 dollars to fix . Wrx drivers take care and please get your sensors checked to see if they are in anyway faulty.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2004

Traveling on a damp, bumpy asphalt road in seattle (tempurature was in the mid-40's). Light ahead turns red - I apply the brakes as usual, but the peddle suddenly sinks about an inch and I feel abs come on. It feels as if the brakes have no stopping power and are only working at about 10%. I let up on the brakes and tried again, and was able to stop before hitting the car in front of me. This has also happened once before, on some metal drawbridge grating. It seems as if the abs comes on in times when it should not, which causes the brakes to practically not work. If a car had been closer in front of me, I would have hit it.
