 Description of the problemI was driving on the highway going up a hill and my subaru wrx was not shifting correctly. It smelled like burnt rubber and it felt like my vehicle didn't have any power at all so i got off on the nearest exit. I stopped at a stop light, put the vehicle in 1st gear and it would not move at all. I had to push the car out of the road with a strangers help. The car smelled like burnt rubber and it put me in a very dangerous situation. Car was towed to the nearest subaru dealership and they said the clutch and flywheel needed to be replaced. I called the dealer where i purchased the vehicle and they said that they already replaced the clutch and flywheel before i bought the vehicle at 27,000 miles. When my clutch went out, my vehicle had 35,000 miles on it and now subaru doesnt want to pay for this clutch. So now i am on my 3rd clutch at 35,000 miles. Its obvious that this is a common problem with other owners. In fact, subaru even knows about this issue. They have issued two service bulletins (design changes) for the clutch's in their 2014-2017 subaru wrxs. My guess is, they know this is a problem and they are trying to cover it up. I never would have purchased this vehicle if i knew about this issue and i will never purchase a subaru again
