Funny, I never mentioned anything about when you found it and you ignoring it. I mentioned about fixing it first because it is a safety issue and then seek compensation and not waiting for SOA to decided a few weeks or months later to goodwill it, as people have waited quite a bit of time and you mentioned it is a safety concern.

Don't suppose we could just get Supraru banned from this thread?
I can't remember the last post of his in here that was productive. Perhaps the real question is, why are you so butthurt over people wanting Subaru to fix an obvious manufacturer design flaw that has real safety concerns? You have this same reaction to the people with the fuel line issue that took Subaru years to own up about and resolve? |

@ Supraru, hop off and go do something better with your life than criticize and start arguments with strangers over the internet .

Supra: not trying to attack you, but I don't see why you are attacking the guy for the intake manifold gaskets. They were leaking and the car was out of warranty, so he fixed it himself. Yet you are bringing it up like he did something wrong?
Also... you seem to know quite a bit. But, you don't seem to realize that a flex plate is used on an automatic transmission, and a flywheel is used for an automatic transmission. Sorry, but you are full of **** if you are trying to pass yourself off as someone who knows something about cars. FLEX PLATE VS FLYWHEEL are two different things. IF YOU CANNOT distinguish between the two, then you cannot expect me to believe tnat you know the difference between a flex plate "squeek" and a firewall flex. Actually, how would a flex plate "squeek" on an automatic and how would a FLYWHEEL squeek? Wait... don't bother to answer those questions... I have no time for wannabes. You don't even know the difference between the two to begin with, chump. Last edited by zephyrantes; 10-13-2013 at 11:45 PM. |

figure I find the easiest way for you to know what a flex plate is. You're welcome. Enjoy. Don't bother trying to rebuttal, because you have no credibility with me. Oh.. and IF you are a technician, or trying to be one.. well, I think you should consider doing something else. |

Second to deal with your wasted breath. I meant to say pressure plate not flex plate. It's rare that we deal with manual trans problems compared to auto's and typing fast my mind was in the wrong box. There's my excuse, so what's your excuse for not knowing how to spell squeak? Spell check broken? That was a nice attempt at an attack and I appropriate your effort, oh wait it wasn't an attack, I forgot already about your disclaimer! |

You know, I really hate when we have post that are pure attack and not relevant to the topic. Seriously? And this is to all involved in the last 8 or so postings. As I recently shared with my brother...you better be damned sure all if your spelling and grammar is correct if you are going to comment on someone else's on the interwebs. Kind of makes you look foolish if you don't. Now, can we knock it off and stay on-topic?

I actually have sometimes heard a squeek on my wife's 08 FXT. Today I'll take a look and see if it is the same issue everyone is having on the impreza. If the weld is the issue, then I'll have to get in touch with Supraru so he can fix it for me.

Warranty or not, the firewall on a car should never fail under normal use, period. If it has had so much reinforcement removed that normal use of the clutch flexes it to the point of failure in the normal expected lifetime of the car, it's a design defect, plain and simple. People shouldn't have to pay over $1000 to repair the firewall to keep their car driveable just because it doesn't happen to fail until after 36,000 miles. We're not talking about some expected wear issue, like clutches wearing out or shocks. This is a structural failure of the body structure. That just shouldn't happen, ever, unless the entire body rusts apart. And there's no way on earth it should happen at well under 100,000 miles. Plenty of other manufacturers cover design defects outside of the normal warranty. It shouldn't take a NHTSA investigation or a class-action lawsuit to make SOA admit that there's a latent defect in manual transmission WRX's and fix it on their nickel. |

Knotsure. I'm right there with you, if the one useless instigator didn't post in this thread, there wouldn't be any issue. Subaru needs to issue a recall and fix this problem regardless of the vehicle still being in warranty. Even if this is a significantly cheaper issue to fix by yourself then other issue they are trying to ignore with the bearings in the early '09 wrx's. But I'm sure Supraru will just tell me that I should shutup and fix it myself when their manufacturing defect causes my motor to need to be replaced costing me $6000+ because I'm 2000 miles out of warranty... |

Lol... u mistook a flex plate from a pressure plate and your best comeback is to attack me with a spell check?! Wow.... awesome man. Squeek vs squeak...that's YOUR BEST COMEBACK?!?!
Lets see... do you mistake a dead pedal from a clutch pedal? Poor supraru.... all sad that he can't tell the difference between a car with a manual and automatic transmission... boo hoo hoo. Btw... a car with an automatic trans has TWO PEDALS... a car with a STANDARD (AKA: MANUAL TRANS) has THREE pedals. In an automatic transmission vehicle, the brake pedal is horizontal and is wider than the gas pedal. JUST IN CASE if you end up diagnosing a FLEX PLATE SQUEEK (I will spell it with an extra E just for you). Obviously, UNLIKE YOU, I do not NEED a spellchecker.. but hey, check the recent posts and you will see someone else using SQUEEK. Do you... "BORROW" your friends WD40 and squirt it around the starter as it engages the teeth of the FLEX PLATE?? I am curious.. just what are your credentials? I SURE HOPE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AUTO INDUSTRY. Oh wait.. you are a teller?!?! Thats all that you are?!! You sit and count other people's money?? You have NO involvement in the auto industry but say things like you "have seen" many claims and "our dealer.."?!?! Wow... so are you a teller or just a mall cop? Maybe you work at a food court and you consider working the till as being a teller of sorts? You have been to a dealership to fix your car, but you come on here telling drunkguy to just rip out his dash and borrow a friend's welder to fix the firewall. YET YOU, cannot even fix your own car! Oh wait... thats because you cannot even tell the difference between an auto and a standard trans. Keep eating the crumbs off my plate, you don't deserve to be in any technical discussion. OH.. and are you going to get on me for using btw vs BY THE WAY? Last edited by zephyrantes; 10-14-2013 at 12:03 PM. |

I don't think a few people understand the full extent/severity of this issue.. and it's because these people either don't have these models that are affected or just don't understand logic. This is an issue that will eventually happen to EVERY 2008+ WRX/IMPREZA/STI. It will creep up on you and will creep up fast. I would classify this issue one step below what's been happening with Jeep and the exploding gas tanks with rear collisions. Please don't feed the trolls in this thread. They're hungry and will ruin your day. Back on topic.
