While driving, the car would occasionally experience deceleration despite pressing the gas pedal. It would suddenly pick up speed and continue normally. Moreover, the car stalled twice, and on both occasions, it wouldn't restart.

We were driving to our summer vacation destination, which was about a 2-hour drive from where we currently live, when it happened. We had been driving for about an hour now and I was in the left lane going approximately 60 MPH when out of nowhere all of the warning lights flashed on my dashboard, including the "check engine light".

I leased this car late march 2019 and from day one I smelled a gasoline like odor when turning on the car for the first 5 to 10 min. I've had bmw forn10 years and subaru is new to me. I thought the smell was normal because it's a 4WD.
