I'd yank them and wait a week. I've had weird issues with LEDs on my car. It was setting the TPMS system. Removed and problems went away.

I wouldn't worry about the DRL... likely not the cause since you have had them in for so long with no problems.

 

Thanks for the input!

Update: Brought her into the dealership today with the LED strip intact (too cold and it snowed the night before). The dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty O2 sensor that triggered all the warning lights. It's covered under warranty but the part is back-ordered for approx. two weeks.

 

I had this happen today at end of 600 mile drive. Was going 70mph and car spontaneously slowed down and went it this mode. Took it to dealer since I was only 5 mile away and they reset and said the code had something to do with turbo and solenoid. I didn't get the code number. They basically said to bring it back if it reoccurs. Hopefully it won't.

 

I think it was the wastegate solenoid that caused the error. Anyone else have this happen?

 

I had the same issues with my 15Forester XT with 44K miles and it happened a couple of times only when the weather is very cold. So yesterday when it happened again, I took it to the dealership. It took them half hour to fix this. It end up being a faulty rear O2 sensor. so they just replaced it. Now it is all fine. As it was still in warranty until 50K miles, so it was all covered. I am happy this is fixed free of charge.
