About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Problem began with a squeaking sound and would click when depressing clutch. Then the clutch pedal would stick and not come back up. Clutch pedal unable to completely engage making it difficult to get the car into gear. Movement in clutch/brake pedal causing hazard while driving due to displacement. Welds in clutch/brake assembly at the firewall are broken.

Manual transmission 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX, have trouble switching gears, and specifically putting vehicle in reverse from a cold start. For a while heard a popping noise when pushing the clutch down. But switching gears is very difficult/clunky and placing the vehicle in reverse from a cold start is extremely difficult. After doing research this appears to be related to Subaru bulletin 12-184-15 (an issue with welds on the firewall). The brackets/welds on the firewall seem to be breaking/are broken.
