You are correct they do not 'tell Subaru what to do'. Happy?
Move along and spend your time on something that concerns you. |

Don't you need to go outside and mow your moms lawn?

I'm right about you not getting enough love as a child but I don't ruin a technical thread airing my personal issues...

Alrighty, finally got a chance to dig into the cowl and take pictures so I can talk to SOA.
Here is a video (full 1080HD) of the broken welds while the clutch pedal is being pressed and released. I hadn't noticed if a video of the issue has been posted in this thread before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd1Ki...ature=youtu.be |

Don't forget to check the other two welds under the wiper cowl, and make sure the dealer you take it to fixes the one welded tab that's only accessible from the interior. Mine missed that tab the first time and I had to take it back to get it rewelded. |

There are two other welds in the wiper cowl area?
I knew about the tab on the inside (upper right side of the bracket). |

Breezio, are you running an aftermarket clutch or are you still stock? |

Powertrain is all stock (save a cat-back)
Even get a little factory throw out bearing noise on occasion, nothing major yet though. |

I had what seemed to be a good conversation with an SOA rep and have scheduled an appointment with a dealer.
SOA brought up the possible 'good will' repair. Dealer asked if I was on the original clutch or aftermarket. So far so good I think. |

I posted a few weeks ago about my cracked welds. Took it into a dealer after calling SOA, and had a good experience. They fixed them in two days, and didn't charge me, under 'good will". SOA was very helpful and so was the dealer.
FWIW, I did have modifications on the car, but nothing major, just a tune, intake, catback exhaust. Hopefully everyone who is having this problem will get it resolved. Still sucked tho to not have the car for a few days. But it doesn't squeak at all now! |

I am very glad to see that SOA is fixing cars left and right. And just think before all this they were sending people out saying it's not our fault! Thank you to everyone who has spoken up positively regarding this issue!

We haven't turned anyone down since this first started. It's amazing what some guys on the Internet can turn something into especially when it's a noise they have no clue where it's coming from and assume its a firewall.

He's wrong, some people have been turned away for a warranty/goodwill repair. |

SOA makes final approval or denial (when it gets to them.) However the dealership does have a hand in whether that is going to happen or not. And because you are in the industry I know that you already know this.
I'm happy that there haven't been any denials in your region (that you know of, though I'm curious how you would know that for a fact). But there have been denials, so your earlier blanket statement was wrong and still is wrong. |

I know my "region" (i.e. the people that are active in our local group) is 3 for 5 for 08-09 MT Imprezas having the clutch bracket fail, but that's a pretty small sample size. |
