I wrote your comments down on paper. Took it this morning to a local repair shop and lo and behold it would not start for them - yeah! He stepped on the brake and put the gear shift in neutral and it did start - he ordered some type of switch - so we will see. Sometimes I think that taking it to someone you know works out better than taking it to a dealership who often really does not have time if you have a stubborn problem. We will see.

The only reason I mentioned the "flashing" is because last year they flashed it and I had no problem starting it for nine months - I don't want to insult women who know car repairs -especially all the computer in and outs- but I don't know much - but am learning more as I go along with this mess. Whatever happened to cars that had a motor, AC, working windows and a radio.

No sound but dashboard lights do operate. Pushing a car in high heels can be troublesome.

Started having a problem with my 2010 Forester not starting a year ago. Took it to 2 different Subaru service departments: the first one thought it need the key reprogramed and they did so. Drove it out of lot, stopped and of course it wouldn't start. Took it to a second dealership and they couldn't find anything but decided to "flash" the computer - great - no trouble until this July and of course we are at our cabin in the north woods. Moved steering wheel and gear shift and it would eventually start for awhile anyway - then that wouldn't work. Got out of car and pushed it a foot or so - now it starts! Can't do this all the time for pete's sake. Took it back to dealership who flashed it last year and they said that wouldn't work -computer was fine. They have no idea what's wrong - I wanted to yell and tell them to flash the darn thing anyway. They want to rip the engine apart - does anyone have an idea.
