Subaru owes it to the car owners to admit and fix and no charge this problem. Drove at lunch time and when i was returning back to work it would not start. Car was parked in parking lot. Nothing left on. When turning ignition on the dashboard lights all came on as well as radio and windows worked up and down but no start. Had co-worker come and jump start and it started right away. |
