Description of the problem	My car started making this really loud popping noise everytime i would engage the clutch. What has happened in the past when i press on the brake pedal my foot has shifted off the pedal due to a fast sudden move from the clutch and brake assembly. I drove the car to texas to visit family and decided to take the car for oil change before returning to california. There the service manager at subaru in texas, which drove my car to the service area, asked me if i had noticed the clicking noise and i told him yes. He then informed me that many 2008-2009 impreza wrx have problems with weld spots which hold the brake and clutch assembly to the fire wall that then fail and brake off. He gave advice on how to look for broken welds, so as soon as i arrived to california i further inspected for the broken welds and sure enough he was right. So i contacted subaru of america and described the defect on my car to have them repair it since it's a safety defect, specially with critical components of the car which are the clutch and brake pedal. As of today 11/5/2014 they have yet to decide if they are covering the repairs because my car is currently 85k and its no longer under warranty. Also, they are blaming the clutch because it has been replaced prior to me purchasing the car with an oem replacement clutch. I have never experienced such a nightmare with any vehicle that i have ever owned. I really hope nhtsa does something before any fatalities or accidents occur. I am currently going threw this right now, so i have yet to find out what they are going to do with my car. I really need help from nhtsa, even if they fix my car, subaru needs to notify owners of this year and models of this problem. All over the internet there are people with the same issue and others that are yet to go threw. Owners need to be aware and cautious about this important fabrication defect.
