UPDATE: Need a new engine.. trying to decide if it is worth it with all the problems I’ve had with this car the last couple of years.
I have a 2014 WRX and have been having some car problems for a while now. It started with check engine light coming on repeatedly with an air flow O2 sensor error. I got the most recent one fixed last Tuesday and was told that if it keeps occurring, it might be a catalytic converter issue. The very next day, I heard a knocking or tapping sound coming from under the hood. I took it back and was told it was an engine knock and would need a new engine, but they didn’t have a timeframe for me. I have been driving it for the last week very sparingly and noticed that the sound was louder and faster when I would accelerate and change gears. Yesterday I got an oil change and it seemed to only get worse. Last night, my car stopped running on the side of the highway. It sputtered out as if the car was out of gas and then wouldn’t start right. When I did get it started, the starters were having trouble and then it didn’t sound right at all.
Note: the car has gas, there was no check engine light, or any other dash lights to warn me of anything.
I’m looking for assistance with what the cause could possibly be and what I should do.
I have a video of the sounds it is making, but not sure how to upload it.
