'13 STi car stalling and sounded like engine is falling out O.O
2013 STi Base Sedan
4,950 miles So I had this issue today, after coming back from getting gas, I was on the highway, getting off the on ramp. There was bumper traffic, and I need to get in the other lane At this point I was 2nd gear. I shift into neutral and managed to squeeze in a spot and came to a stop Car was still on I put the clutch in, 1st gear, it felt as if the parking brake was on, and the car would not go It sounded like the transmission was falling out of the car, and there was a loud smacking It was as if the car stalled but didn't. I had to turn the car off and put it back into gear I was terrified stuck in traffic I managed to get a block from my house at the stop sign 1st->2nd rolling to my driveway, I put it in neutral and same loud smacking, and the car acted like it was dying. I am terrified to drive the car, and I have a service appointment tomorrow. I am coming in for some regular maintenance and now this =( Anyone else have this similar issue?

Well, good thing you are going to the dealership in the morning. Get some sleep and let us know how you do tomorrow. Internet trouble shooting is pointless right now.

Tow it to the dealership. If you drive it in and mess it more up they will not cover it.

You have Subaru Roadside Assistance.
In this kind of situation with a new car. Turn it off. Call Subaru. Wait for tow truck and leave the car at the dealer. Man, why the heck would you try and drive it with a major problem. |

Were you playing around with DCCD and put it in the lock position or anything higher than full rear? Did you turn the car off and happen to drive it again and were yo ugetting the same issue?
This is the only thing I can think of even though what you are discribing seems a little more intense. |

Bingo Bango So the Tech, (who was replacing my undercover/skidplate, which he openly admitted to forgetting to screw on completely after an oil change, but really felt bad an apologized O.O) that fell off and cracked said he wanted to take a ride along, we went through the steps again and we realized I must of had my full lock on. Which I recall from the highway that I did. After you turn off the car it resets hahaha Thank you guys for your help and concerns! -Ronen91 |

As for when I got off the highway, it was minor turning, but it explained why the car didn't actually stall, and made sense. As long as the issue is logged, and I brought it in right away. I don't see why SOA would give me trouble in the future now =) |

How do you not realize you have full lock on? It's on the dash right in front of you. Even the manual states that loud noises will be heard if you make sharp turns with full lock on.
And your tech....WTF? He didn't re-attach something to the car properly and it fell off and broke? Pretty ****ty tech if you ask me. Re-installing parts properly is his freaking job. |

Yeah, well he wasted mine, so I guess I had the right to waste his. I remembered reading the diff slap in the manual a bit ago.
Sometimes I may accidentally press one of my DCCD controls but, after I shut off the car, it goes straight to auto. I simply forgot I had full lock mode on the highway. I was testing to see if I get better mileage in certain positions after a gas run. |
