2013 BRZ Stock and 86k
~500 miles since recall done

I took the chance that the dealership here had 7 successful recall fixes. Yesterday after driving and it was hot it sounded like a very, very loud bird. Called subaru; said to call if any other symptoms.
Today, almost stalled out at light. Shortly after, a few minutes, All lights popped on and stalled out. So far starts back up. Going to limp it home and hope it gets there and call again.
BRZ’s haven’t been as affected as the FRS so took the chance, considering it ran perfectly and never a problem prior to recall I am seriously concerned.


Got it back home. It kept nearly dying at every stop sign and light but didn’t stall out again. While the motor has been quiet and sounding good previous to yesterday, it again sounds like a very large, loud bird is under the hood. Sound coming from block, not belts or hoses or pulleys.
The Rpms drop low, sub 400, then it catches and rights itself.
Taking it in tomorrow. If need be the shop foreman who did the work will drive around with me awhile to see/feel/hear what I do.
When it’s cold it sounds great and runs fine, doesn’t try to die and doesn’t have the loud bird under the hood.
Adding that at times it feels sluggish or bogging with acceleration intermittently.
Putting this here as others have had same issue and so it doesn’t get lost on enthusiast page. Will keep this updated.
