Forester Premium 2.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 13,506 miles

Car would not start this morning. It was not the battery as engine would turn over once then die. I turned the key several times, waiting a bit between cranks. Five minutes of this I decided to just let it sit a minute and decide what to do (call in to work, etc.). Tried it one last time and it started but was very weak and I had to rev the engine to get it to level out. It idled ok after a few engine revs so I decided to try to get to work. Drove fine all the way to work. Parked in the garage and turned car off and tried to restart. Same thing...like it was choking out or not getting fuel to the engine. Will be calling my dealer later today about the issue as I am wondering if Starlink car diagnostics will pick up the issue on my monthly health report. If this keeps up I will be trading this vehicle in for a Honda (which is what I was driving before this Subaru).
