2017 WRX. My clutch pedal intermittently vibrates. I've found that pressing it in and releasing it quickly eventually resolves the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this something I should be concerned about?

Default 2015 WRX Defects

2016 WRX limited purchased in July 2015. 42k miles since new and not a single defect or issue. 32k of those miles at stage 1 or stage 2 plus. No rattles , leaks, paint issues, or anything of the sort. As a matter a fact, it’s the most reliable car I’ve ever owned (I’ve owned several WRX, STIs, BMWs, Nissans, Lexus, and Infiniti). It’s almost hard to believe the defects and complaints I keep reading.

Only basic maintenance and lots of motor, brake, and suspension mods. It’s been a fun and stress free two years with her. Zero complaints. Just smiles and spirited drives. I do take excellent care of my cars though. Always garage kept and doesn’t see daily driving for last 18 months.

Can I just go to the dealership with this list and tell them to fix all of the issues?

I have no idea what year you have since its not listed. if you have an early model 2015 chances are you have a few of these or more. If you have a 2016 like me, you may have 2-3 but it inst a given that your car will exhibit symptoms of the issues listed. I merely posted this as a means of information for you to research on your own and see which ones apply to your car.
If you have a 2017 or newer. these will most likely not apply to you.

if you open the links and read, you will see what I am talking about.

Do what you want, but I have found that the honey approach always works best for me. I value the relationship that I have built with my dealer and would not come to them with bull**** like what you are proposing.

Interesting list
The Door Mirror Loose TSB applies to my car, even though the year listed on the TSB is up to 2016.
Ill have to go up to the dealer and talk to them. Im more afraid of them scratching my car, than the mirror assembly being loose.

Read through the TSB. it is simply an update to the bolts.

you can purchase these bolts and do this yourself if it makes you feel better.

they are probably only a few bucks. Hardly worth your time to go through the service dept for those savings.

If it aint broke don't fix it, is what they'll probably say. Bulletins are based on the amount of people having the same problem, doesn't mean your car has these problems. Or they may charge you for the diagnostic.

not a bad idea.

I have wanted to take the assembly off. I figured I needed to tighten something. Now I got instructions on how to

I intend to do the same thing. Although its not bad enough to warrant it right now perhaps in another year or so for me.

Good luck!

Lol, I’m so jealous!! You find it hard to believe that people have issues, I find it hard to believe there are WRXs out there with no issues! Haha. Maybe the secret is not to use it as a daily driver like I have.

Good tip Just noticed that my mirrors are pretty loose. Will pick up bolts and do the fix myself.

I have issues putting my car into first and second gear. Very often it takes a lot of effort to shift into 1st or 2nd, other times none at all. I don't know if this is a defect.

I think I have a similar issue, but only after driving my car hard. The clutch vibrates when I press it in, but it eventually goes away after use.

I had the same issue. There is a TSB for the Clutch Release Bearing.

Did you have any transmission related work done? Maybe check that all of the shift cables/anchors are secured and fully seated the next time you can get under the car. I'm assuming this isn't just cold (harder shifting) vs. warm.

Twice I've had issues with intermittent hard-shifting (in a Nissan and a Saturn) and both times, the clips that secure the ends of the shift cables had become loose. It reduces the precision of the cable movement, which can cause conflict at the gearbox.

The one thing that I most expected to be let down by going to the 2015 WRX, but have been most happy with is the shifter. Not the best, but nowhere near bad, even in the cold. I've never even seen how Subaru's cables are set up, so my advice above could be entirely not-applicable.

ME TOO

There's no issue when the window is all the way up or down, but when I cruise with the window partially open, it will jostle just enough to make a little noise.

Also, weird thing I've noticed: I use a cigarette lighter --> micro usb charger for my phone from the center armrest, when the phone is plugged in, and if I leave it on my passenger seat, the passenger seatbelt sign will trigger and start chiming. As soon as I lift the phone off the seat, it stops. I think it has something to do with triggering an electrical circuit and just the right contact, but I know that this is definitely causing it because it took me weeks to diagnose wtf was going on and narrowed it down to being directly related to having the phone plugged in charging and setting it on the passenger seat.

Agreed, the tranny is much better than I was expecting.

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone has encountered this problem.... I have a 17 WRX when my turbo spools up I get the standard turbo noise in the cabin as well as what I would describe as a noise it you stuck a piece of paper into spinning fan blades... Hope that makes sense? Could it be a turbo leak?

You'll get a new engine regardless, I mean you even had the dealership doing the work for you so you can just point your finger at them.
sorry for bumping an old thread. i just bought my 2015 wrx from my brother. everything works great except sometimes the car takes a few seconds too long to start. so far, its never not started, but sometimes it takes as long as 2 or 3 full seconds to start, instead of half a second. a friend mentioned it was a common problem on WRXs? im assuming i should just take it in, but its out of warranty now i think, and money is tight.
