| Description of the problem | After 72 hours of my purchase of the 2010 subaru impreza wrx from toyota boulder dealership located in boulder, colorado, i had experienced malfunctions with the starter of the vehicle. I had absolutely no fault in this situation, however i was simply misinformed and therefore purchased a vehicle that wasnt in adequate, safe conditions. On tuesday i had experienced a lack of power when starting up the vehicle . I had no problems with the vehicle in the morning however around noon i had driven 10 miles from my work and had down shifted to 1 gear from 2nd and the vehicle stalled. The following day i had then tried to fire up the vehicle but it would not start. The electrical system was on par, the battery was at 86% of life which narrowed it down to either the starter or alternator. However by the looks and my knowledge of these types of vehicles i believe the root of the malfunction lies within the starter. The car was stationary the second time i had tried to start the vehicle. |
