Description of the problem	2009 impreza wrx there was no indication that a failure was going to occur before it happened. I had driven the car normally for almost 4 months. The engine began to make a loud knocking noise around 2000 rpm, sounding like metal hitting metal as i pulled up to a stop sign. Fortunately i had just entered my neighborhood so i was able to get home and have my car towed. Subaru road side assistance towed the car and i was given a rental for 20 days. Subaru dealer said it was a spun rod bearing and engine needed to be replaced. Even though i requested a long block replacement i only got a short block, so the turbo is the same. Since this occurred i have had numerous other problems, clutch throwout bearing replacement, starter, air conditioning problems. This car is a lemon but its impossible to convince subaru of that fact. Engine blown at 3300 miles. Clutch problem at 7000 miles. Starter failure at 9600 miles (2/2011). Reported to soa.
