| Description of the problem | The clutch or some part of the car smells bad (like sulphur) when the clutch slips as the car starts rolling and gas is applied. It is awful and i have read that it was supposed to go away b/c its a new car..... Well i have almost 4k miles on it now and it is still there. Subaru needs to recall the car and replace the part. Many people are having the issue and subaru is not responding.*ak |
