problem #1

Dec 152005

Forester 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,500 miles
When outside temperature falls below 10 degrees F., car will not start or starts only with greatest difficulty. Last year(2004), same sort of starting problem was attributed to a cracked ignition coil. This year dealers service department can not find a problem, also can't explain the problem.
