FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ATTEMPTS. APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED (EITHER INDOORS OR OUTSIDE) FOR MORE THAN SEVERAL HOURS. CAR WILL CRANK OVER FOR 10+ SECONDS AND WILL NOT START. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, CAR HAS STARTED EVENTUALLY. HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH DEALER AND SIA OFFICES THAT I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR WILL MAKE WHIRRING NOISES THAT COME FROM THE BACK RH SIDE OF VEHICLE - AND ALSO A CLICKING NOISE NEAR CENTER OF DASH WHEN TURNED OFF AND SITTING. THIS WILL GO ON FOR OVER 5 MINUTES AT A TIME, WHICH MUST DRAIN BATTERY SINCE CAR IS NOT TURNED ON OR ENGINE RUNNING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS IS THE EMISSION SYSTEM "PURGING" ITSELF - AND IS CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. SIA OFFICES CONFIRMED THIS AND ALSO STATED THAT NOTHING IS NOTED IN THE CURRENT OWNERS MANUAL WHICH EXPLAINS THIS FEATURE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR IS UNABLE TO START WHEN REQUIRED TO - AND AM GUESSING THAT IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THIS UNUSUAL FEATURE... . REGARDLESS OF ORIGIN, SAFETY ISSUE WITH CAR NOT STARTING AND BEING READY TO OPERATE WHEN NORMAL STARTING PROCEDURES ARE FOLLOWED. *TR

STRUCTURE
I HIT A BEAR AT 55MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. THE BEAR LEAPED OFF THE BANK IN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CRASH THAT RESULTED IN THE BEAR BEING KILLED INSTANTLY, ABOUT 600 LBS. OF BEAR. THE CAR CAME TO AN INSTANT HALT WITH THE FRONT END BEING PUSHED BACK, LIGHTS,GRILLE,FENDER, HOOD, ECT. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER CALLING SUBARU OF AMERICA, I WAS ADVISED TO LET MY INSURANCE HANDLE IT, BUT AFTER MUCH ARGUMENT WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER OF 1020805 BY SUBARU. THIS IS NOT A INSURANCE PROBLEM, THIS IS SUBARU PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO FIRST TEAM IN ROANOKE VIRGINIA AND THE COLLISION SHOP ADVISED ME TO CONTACT SUBARU. *TR
