2009 WRX engine failure VIN/build date owner list
I no longer have the time (or enthusiasm) to keep up with updating this list. I've included the data below. If you want to take over the list, go ahead and copy and paste the data into any spreadsheet program and format it in any way you like . Then start a new thread and I'll link to it in this thread.
The data below is arranged, in order, as follows: screen name - nasioc screen name posts - number of posts before the member posted their first failure post joined - date they joined nasioc date reported - date they reported the failure on nasioc vin - last 6-digits of VIN (production number) as reported by member build date - as reported by member miles - at failure as reported by member If something is blank, it means the info was not given. An asterisk next to the build date means the date was not given but was estimated based on other reported failures near the same VIN. The data below was last updated on 8/29/09, meaning it should cover all failure reports before 8/29/09. Practically the entire product range of the Publix Ad can be useful for all customers.

No, sorry, we've only been tracking the 09 WRX.

Did the '08 WRX have as many engine failures as the '09 WRX or even a close number? If 28 or so '09 WRX engines have failed so far, how many '08 WRX engines would you guess have failed?

No one has been tracking the 08 WRX, but it doesn't appear there's anywhere near as many failures (reported anyway) as the 09 WRX.

Kinda interesting is the fact that the majority of failures (11 out of 31, or 35.5% of the total) happened between 1001 and 2000 miles...which is when owners can finally go beyond 4000 rpms...
After that it seems to progressively fade (5 failures from 2001 to 3000 miles, 4 from 3001-4000, 3 from 4001-5000, 3 from 5001-6000, 1 from 7000-8000)... So, generally speaking, if someone passes 6000 miles without a problem, chances are they are safe. Still a long way for my 2009 Wrx sedan...Very scary... |

Knock knock, rattle rattle....~400 miles. Build Date 9/08. VIN 5043XX. It's Sunday, so I guess I'll have to go visit the dealership tomorrow.
Add me to the list! Am I the first with a 9/08 build date? |

Also removed the 6 reported failures where the owners have failed to respond to continued requests for VIN and/or build date. |
