Maybe it is just time for a new battery. I replaced the battery in my 2015 Forester this year as it was getting a little weak. How cold does it get where you are?

Remember that you have a warranty. It won't cover the battery but it should cover most everything else.

any auto parts store can check your battery for free. Subaru's batteries are not the best out there.

My lovely Honda was just totaled by a tree falling on it...Looking for a Subaru now. I drove a 2006 Forester LL Bean with 149000 miles on it. The car was originally purchased at the same dealership and maintenance done at the same Subaru dealership. It had one owner I was told that it's inevitable that the head gaskets will fail. What do you think? 2 Answers
