| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 subaru impreza. while driving at any speed, coasting, and shifting gears, the vehicle loses all wheel drive power. the failure causes the vehicle to shift into neutral. the failure was more apparent at high altitudes and on icy roads. while driving downhill, the vehicle jerks before it shifts into neutral. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure. however, they reprogrammed the ecm. a local mechanic stated that the vehicle's torque converter and transmission were working improperly and the engine was six degrees too high. the contact filed a formal complaint with the manufacturer. the current mileage was 22,000 and failure mileage was 1,000. updated 01-30-08. *kb the consumer stated driver's seat would lock into place, windows screeched, and passenger's front door hinges came loose. the consumer stated took the vehicle to 2 independent mechanics who stated the torque converter or transmission was not functioning correctly. updated 01/30/08 *tr | |||

| I bought my subaru impreza wrx sti brand new, and after having it about 4 months a transmission mount called the pitch rod mount broke in half. the mount broke under normal driving conditions, and resulted in damaging the clutch line. the fluid in the clutch line was drained and this resulted in my gears scratching and overall ruined my transmission. in the end i took it to the dealership and had to replace the mount, clutch line and the transmission had to be re-built. now i was not aware at the time that the mount was broken so to my surprise that after everything was fixed ($2,800 later) a week later i heard a pop. i thought to myself that it could be the mount again. so i reached my hand slowly behind the hot intercooler covering the entire top half of the engine and felt that again the pitch rod had broken. this pitch rod needs to be recalled and is costing people a fortune!*jb | |||
