test battery

scan vehicle for any trouble code[s] does it start with a jump - check and test battery ]load test ] same with relays and connectors

My first suspicion is ground cable to battery is loose, corroded or contacting somewhere it shouldn't. Subarus seem to eat ground cables somehow in my experience. Might also be a computer problem but less likely.

If you had a starter relay or park neutral safety switch problem the engine would not spin . If when you turn the key to the start position an the engine spins but does not start an run , this is a cranks no start , but if you turn the key to the start position an the engine does not spin you have a no crank no start condition . All the parts you replaced an didn't fix the problem , you probably should take it to a qualified repair shop . It sounds like you know nothing of auto repair .

Its either an electrical problem from the kick starter automatic or the solenoid..but the kick starter is faulty anyway!

Hi Dianne, sorry, but I have to ask: after the oil change, are you sure the oil was re-filled? Maybe some got spilled on the exhaust manifold and needs to burn off (any smoke?) Is there coolant visible in the overflow tank? If the coolant is low, perhaps there is a leak in a hose to and from the radiator. "Hot smell" can also be rubber burning, i.e. drive belts, clutch pressure plate. Hard for me to tell w/o being there-hope this helps!

if you have this problem only when listening to the gangam style I would suggest listening to more appropriate music. However if the problem do continue even with white folks rhythms I think the best solution would be to completely remove the plastic parts, sandblast the interior metal chassis , vacuum the whole thing and then glue the plastics back using epoxy glue
