1993 subaru impreza experienced a tire blow out causing the consumer to run off the road and hit the median wall twice. *kb ohio traffic crash report# 10-90-0831.
We just purchased a 1993 subaru impreza 4 door sedan. Yesterday, november 27, 2004 while we were stopped at a traffic light, we were hit by another vehicle which was traveling about 30 MPH. With my foot on the brake, our subaru was propelled 5-15 feet. The air bag never deployed. My wife an I required emergency medical attention. I just noticed that the federal safety agency issued a recall on defective subaru airbags in 1994, but there isn't even an option to search for a subaru problems in 1993.
Fuel, throttle, air control valve. While car is running, it has sudden repeated accelerations, which could cause serious accident.
Four fuel pumps have been installed in the vehicle since purchase of 2000. The vehicle would stall out with no warning putting the occupants at risk under any circumstances. The owner has found a the federal safety agency recall campaign 93v072000 fuel tank assembly pipe filler neck on the internet. Please describe details. Mr
Fuel pump was replaced 4 times from the year 2000-2002.
Regarding the gas gauge: gauge does not read accurately. Shows as below empty when there is still over 3 gallons of fuel left. Goes up and down for no reason. I personally know 3 other 93 impreza owners who have the same problem. Re: the power locks/childproof switch. I cannot open the back right door from the inside because I cannot disengage the childproof switch. No matter what position the switch is in the door still does not open from the inside. This also happened to my 1987 subaru gl which I no longer have.
Driver's side airbag deployed when vehicle went up on curve, and when coming down bottom of curve. Tow hook came down on curve, and airbag deployed. Consumer stated that airbag should not have deployed. Theres a recall on 1997 vehicle for same problem, but not for 1996 vehicle.
