A bad oil valve in the engine tripped the check engine light upon starting the car. The bad valve was possibly letting sludge get into the engine. At only 60k andwith doing religious oil changes on time, this appears to be a defective part for which a service bulletin but not a recall has been issued.

The last several weeks (at around 16k miles) the majority of the time when i would try to park, i'd place my car in park, have my foot on the brake, but i could not turn the key from the acc position to the lock position and also could not remove the key. I'd have to cycle the car on, reverse a few feet, go forward to my parking spot, put in park and try to turn off. I often had to do it 5+ times to be able to remove the key. On this site i found some information from subaru claiming that some cars have a problem with contaminants getting to the "plate guide b." once i saw the illustrations i realized that a component of plate guide b is a little switch. The button on the gear shift knob has a plunger that drops when the button is released; when it functions properly that plunger should come to rest on the switch in plate guide b and deactivate the lock in the ignition. It seems that over time there was a loss of spring tension either in the gear shift knob or in the little switch so the plunger was not activating the switch. After learning all this i was able to do the repair without replacing any components, and now that i know what i'm doing, it can be done in about 10 minutes and requires only a flat head screwdriver, a philip's screwdriver, a pair of needle nose pliers and a flashlight. I just had to remove the center console (two screws in the back seat one on each side and one under the hand brake boot, disassemble the gear shifter cover. (all plastic clips easily undone with a flat head screwdriver), knob, and dust cover to expose the switch and then bend the exposed end of the switch slightly upward so the shifter knob's plunger will activate it again. The switch looks like a small flat piece of metal. I just held it firmly in place with a flat screw driver then pulled up (gently) on the end of it with needle nose pliers to bend it slightly upward.

I have a 2015 subaru impreza with 31,000 miles (out of warrantydue to age). Thecar has developed a small oil leak from the cam carrier cover (aka valve cover) onto the exhaust manifold and the o2 sensor causing a lot of smoke that then enters the cabin. Subaru's estimate $4973.87. Reading subaru forums i've come to discover that this is a pretty common problem in vehicles dating between 2012 and 2017. Due to the smoke it creates in the cabin, and the health risks there in, and the short life of the part in question, i'd recommend a recall be issued.

I was driving as i normally do and parked my car. When i go to start it again the power steering light on my dash board lights up and i can't move my steering wheel at all. Since i was unable to drive my car i had to get it towed to my mechanic where i was told that the steering shaft and motor where bad. In doing some research i found out that subaru had this issues in since 2013 models.
