Nothing. Has no sound, clicking, etc, it has no response until you wait about 30 min and then it starts just like normal.

Hmmm...first I'd clean and tighten the battery cables, as intermittence there is very common.

2010 Outback here. SAME ISSUE! Resolved now, after countless intermittent issue (happening) & diagnostics at a few places. The code finally came up for the malfunctioning/misfiring: P0335 OBD-II Trouble Code: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Malfunction. FINALLY a code appeared! --- Battery, alternator, ignition switch, fuel pump --- all are fine. The parts+labor at the Subaru dealership was approx. 420 USD. Not bad for peace of mind. My Subaru is older, though, approaching 175K but I love this car. Other than this problem, it runs fine and I drive A LOT (est. 38K per year).
