Now 4 times the car has failed to start. 3 times in garage (58 deg) last time stranded us in a shopping center parking lot. (68 deg) Jump start this last time did not work at first even on booster cables then poof it started. battery seems fine as all other electrics seem to be working fine. Seems like a bad starter electrical connection or relay (Had a start issue on Porsche many yrs ago and was a bad undersized relay and cable and only a issue when car was hot) WRX starts fine most of the time with no issues. Not sure it's related but Also never had issue prior to dealer recall reflash of ECU. Can't TRUST CAR WILL START RELIABLY when it really counts.
