MULTIPLE SUBARU'S WITH TURBO ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING THE P2441 CEL CODE WHICH IS AN ISSUE WITH SECONDARY AIR VALVES BEING STUCK. THIS IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND NOT POWERTRAIN SO WARRANTY DOESNT COVER BEYOND A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO BEEN OCCURING OVER THE PAST DECADE, WITH EXPENSIVE COST TO FIX >$1200 FOR A VALVE REPAIR. IT APPEARS EVEN WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IS UNPREDICTABLE. SUBARU OF AMERICA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FREQUENCY OF THIS FAILURE.

1 complaint

WHILE DRIVING, THREE DASH LIGHTS TURN ON-ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND HILL ASSIST LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES NO LONGER FUNCTION ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL AND HILL ASSIST, FURTHERMORE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE.THE PART WAS REPLACED BY SUBARU WHEN UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS OTHER TIMES SINCE BEING REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE DASH LIGHTS WILL RESET WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, BUT THEY ALWAYS COME BACK AT SOME POINT.THE PART REPLACED WAS THE BRAKE LIGHT STOP SWITCH. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY SUBARU WRX DRIVERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY SUBARU. *TR
