I own a 2015 wrx limited cvt. When i go to my car to go to work and i start it, the car sputters. I've only noticed this on cold starts only, once the car is warmed up it's fine. For some reason though when the car is sputtering on start ups it will trip my cel and basically put the car into 'get home' mode, but it only seems to trigger the cel when it wants to. The car will always sputter on start up but sometimes the cel will come on and i can't use the drive modes and sometimes it won't come on. No matter what i do i can't get the car to stop sputtering. I've cleaned pretty much every sensor i could and nothing worked. I scanned the obd2 port and got P0300 for random misfire, which tells me absolutely nothing.

Vehicle is burning oil, oil came out through where the dip-stick is placed. Found oil on the exhaust tips. Mass air flow sensor is malfunctioning. Requires new coils and spark plugs even though i have already replaced them. Required a new battery, however, replacing the battery did not keep the vehicle from turning off by itself. O2 sensor, bank 1 sensor 2, is also malfunctioning.

Squeaky clutch pedal and whirring noise when clutch depressed

NoNoN NoneNone20191213

Driving on the highway at ~70 mph and suddenly lost all throttle response, the car would not accelerate only loose speed. Engine started to shutter to low rpms, and because of this drastically lost speed and nearly got into an accident with oncoming traffic while moving to the side of the highway to pull over. After eventually pulling over, engine continued to shutter to low rpms and could not hold an idle - would just stall after repeated attempts to start it up. Car was towed to closest dealership and after waiting 4 days finally heard it was the engine wire harness that needed to be replaced. Researching the issue i found that subaru made a design change for the wire harness to prevent water/moisture failure which is most like what happened to my vehicle. Stuck with a $1400 bill due to a design flaw, i decided to purchase a 2020 model which hopefully doesn't have the same issue. After calling subaru of north america and explaining the situation, they offered me $1000 towards the new purchase. It was a kind gesture however i question if it is somewhat admission of guilt for the design flaw. 2015 wrx 138k miles was meticulously maintained with all necessary maintenance completed at proper intervals and oil changes every 3-4k miles.
