1. I WAS DRIVING AND I HAD MY RIGHT HAND FIRMLY ON THE WHEEL. MEANWHILE I MOVED MY LEFT HAND TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I GOT MY MIDDLE FINGER STUCK IN THE SMALL INDENT (WITH THE NUT/BOLT) ON THE DRIVER'S LEFTHAND SIDE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE WHEEL. 2. MY MIDDLE FINGER GOT STUCK IN THAT INDENTED HOLE AND I RECEIVED AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. THE HORN/ALARM WAS ACTUALLY TRIGGERED SOMEHOW AND WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING AS A RESULT OF MY FINGER BEING STUCK THERE. I HAD EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN MY FINGER. WITHIN THE FEW SECONDS THAT IT TOOK ME TO PULL MY FINGER OUT, IT WAS ALREADY RED, SWOLLEN, AND BURNT. THE PASSENGER IN MY CAR HAD TO LEAN OVER AND PULL THE CAR OFF ONTO A SIDE ROAD AS I WAS IN TOO MUCH PAIN. *TR
I WAS MAKING A SLOW SPEED (~25 MPH) LEFT TURN WITH MY 2007 SUBARU IMPREZA 2.5I STATION WAGON ON A DIMLY LIT INTERSECTION AT NIGHT DURING THE RAIN. I MISJUDGED THE TURN, AND TURNED ABOUT 2 YARDS TOO EARLY. I DROVE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH, COLLIDING HEADON WITH A CONCRETE STORM DRAIN. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AT THE MOMENT OF IMPACT. AFTER THE IMPACT, THE ELECTRICAL INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHTS, STEREO SYSTEM AND CABIN LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONING. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR, AND SPOKE WITH A WITNESS WHO WAS ABLE TO CALL THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WHILE WAITING FOR THE OFFICERS, ABOUT 6 MINUTES AFTER THE COLLISION THE FRONT OF THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER, A FIRE BEGAN BEHIND THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. WHEN THE OFFICERS ARRIVED ON SCENE, THE FIRE HAD PROGRESSED SO THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, THE HEAT OF THE FIRE HAD EXPLODED THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

THE CAR IS NO UNDRIVABLE I HAVE NO WAY TO OR FROM WORK THE BUS RUNS NO WEAR NEAR MY HOUSE IM LOSING MONEY DAILY I SEARCHED UP THIS PROBLEM AND THIS HAPPENS TO MOST PEOPLE.
WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES HARD FOR AN EMERGENCY STOP LAST NIGHT THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED, SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDDLE AND THEN REAPPLIED AND THEY WORKED FINE, BUT BY THAT POINT THE DEER HAD ALREADY HIT ME.
car just locking on its own as you're driving down the road cruise control light blinking on and off randomly had a brake light gets stuck when I got home and got other vehicle the other night it took you forever to get that off but I have received takata airbag recall notice do not drive and no one can be in the passenger seat also definitely progressed as time went on these unusual symptoms mostly computerized but have a hard time believing they're not related to the airbag recall yes it's available for inspection that's what I tried to do at not closest authorized dealership but they would not budge really on anything at all wouldn't have towed it then tow back wouldn't come pick it up exchange me a car then I would have means of transportation to pick it back up that makes the most sense but I can drive it is what they're telling me but there can be no passengers in the car they want me to bring it down there bottom line but it's nothing like the complimentary round trip towing or other transportation alternatives are available that is advertised on the do not drive paper I got in the mail and its not worth my time arguing with them I had an appointment scheduled on the 17th at 8:30 but that was me driving it down there maybe getting a loaner vehicle while I was there but there just didn't seem like there was no certainty on that but something's got to be straightened out here I can't have my children riding in this car or my wife she's pregnant and my grandmother has got to get to dialysis this week and here I'm stuck I'm trying to get this dealership to reason with me we never come to an appointment to be rescheduled because they don't want to work with me at all drive down there wait and bring it back is it should I contact another dealership right now I'm driving it sparingly to get groceries in a few things by myself but the more I looked into the situation and the bizarre computer errors any more details you need contact me sorry for the grammar errors
My brake line was extremely rusted and broke while driving. I I discovered this when I got home after I felt a Difference in the brake pedal and the responsiveness which quickly lead to no response at all with the brakes and brake light coming on right before I pulled into my driveway
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD(LUCKILY AT 35 MPH) THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I DOWN SHIFTED AND USED THE EBRAKE AND STOPPED SAFELY AND NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME SAFELY, AND CHECKING THINGS OUT, I NOTICED THE 4 WAY CONNECTOR (RECALLED UNDER CAMPAIGN# WQK-47) WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND LOOKS AS THOUGH IT HAD NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED. THEN, WHILE LOOKING UP THE PART, I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT NOT ON MY SPECIFIC YEAR AND MODEL, EVEN THOUGH THE SURROUNDING MODELS AND YEARS WERE RECALLED. PERHAPS THIS WAS OVERLOOKED? OR THE AMOUNT OF UNMODIFIED SURVIVING WRX'S DIDN'T PETICULARLY JUSTIFY A RECALL ON THAT MODEL? EITHER WAY, IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS ALSO AN INCREDIBLY INVOLVED FIX. THE PART ON THE 06-07 IMPREZA WRX IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 05-08 OUTBACKS AND LEGACYS. I WILL BE CALLING SUBARU OF AMERICA TODAY AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT. BUT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE THEM NOTIFY ANY 06-07 WRX OWNERS IN THE RUST BELT THAT THIS MIGHT BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD! FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT [XXX]FOR ANY FURTHER EXPLANATION! THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
THE "AIRBAG" LIGHT FOR DRIVERS SIDE COMES ON AND GOES OFF RANDOMLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND I DID TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. BUT IF THE DEALERSHIP EVER REPAIRED THE PROBLEM (I SUSPECT THEY DID NOT REPAIR IT) THE LIGHT STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND GO OFF RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP QUIT RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS YEARS AGO NOW.
