Description of the problem	7,180 mileage, purchased new 12-2016. Garaged kept, 80 degree temp. We both are 70 + years, safety reliability are major considerations. On 10-21-17, we made a 20 mile grocery trip. Auto drove as usual. On 10-23-17, we had m. D. Appointment. Starter wouldn't turn motor over. Original battery came with the car, had zero electrical energy left... I connected my battery charger to the battery posts, waited 10 minutes. Dash lights came on, motor still wouldn't turn over. Charged battery an additional 30 minutes, and switched charger mode to 50 amp 'start' mode, starter motor slowly turned, and motor started. Made the 60 mile trip to m. D's office, and back home, and when arriving home, found out that the passenger nor driver's electric window wouldn't open, to get mail from our mail box. On 11/26/17 i took the car to subaru of jacksonville. Three hour wait at dealer, even with an appointment. The warranty repair was listed as ecm update. Dealer's work order copy re. Windows was " all systems operating as designed." service department mentioned that there may be an additional update required. With our last couple of g. M. Cars, various "updates or adjustments" were made via satellite. This technology is certainly available... With bluetooth perhaps, through cell phone ? I made the 30+ mile trip from the dealer home to st. Augustine without further problems.
