Driving on the freeway my car lost power i pulled off to the side and tried to restart it. As I have the ignition turned over for 30 to 40 seconds the starter sounded erratic and the oil temperature light was flashing. I sat there for about ten minutes and tried again and it did the same thing but it started. This power loss has happened twice. The erratic noise coming from the ignition, and the hesitation of starting is a regular ongoing issue along with the oil temperature light. Since the first stall at about 117000 miles on the odometer the car has been burning oil at a rate of a full quart about every 3000 miles. #2 Around 120000 miles my key wouldn't come out of the ignition. This happened first on a late night in a high crime area. I actually had to leave my keys in my ignition while going into a gas station to pay for fuel. Since then this happens every time I turn off my vehicle and put it into the park position. Usually I have to wait around ten minutes to be able to remove the keys. Both of these issues cause a great deal of anxiety on the freeway or having to leave the key in the ignition.

On two occasions while traveling over 70 mph on I-26 outside of columbia, SC the vehicle's electric system appeared to malfunction and vehicle died immediately. The clock, fuel economy readings, and radio shut off. The vehicle stalled and had to be maneuvered to the shoulder of the interstate with no acceleration capability or power steering. The vehicle was capable of being restarted. On the first occasion, I restarted the vehicle and there were no faults, errors or anything noted so I continued to drive, assuming it was a one time event. The second time, the same problem happened and then a check engine light appeared. Following the second time, check engine illuminated, as well as the traction control light, and the cruise control image was blinking. Prior to all of these problems, I was having may issues engaging the cruise control and tried multiple button sequences to make cruise control work. I was able to get vehicle to autoparts store where code read P0021. To get safely home, the autoparts store recommended that I do a reset by disconnecting battery and turning off all electronics. This worked and I have driven since without the same event. This could easily have been fatal and must be investigated.

After putting the car in park unable to remove the key from ignition, key getting stuck in ignition.

Our Subaru crosstrek recently had a sensor issue causing the car to think it wasn't in park when it was in fact in park. This caused the ignition to not release the key properly, which meant you could not leave the car unless you left the key in the ignition and didn't lock it. This is apparently a common problem on Subaru based on talking with service reps and searching the internet. Why this has not been recalled, I am not sure. The repair for this little sensor was quite expensive. $449

My car is currently using a large amount of oil. I've had to put in about 1.5 quarts of oil about 2 times between oil changes. The horn has also stopped working in some positions (thinking this is likely the clockspring). My car currently has about 106K miles on it.

The horn does not function when the steering wheel is aligned straight with the wheels and the vehicle is stationary or moving however when you turn the steering wheel to the left the horn will function.
