hey guys, I own a 2016 WRX; owned since late august of 2017. In a few months I've had this problem happen a few different times. Basically my car wont crank, lights and everything come on but the car wont start. Today i went to grab lunch, started up fine. Went into the restaurant for maybe 2 minutes came back and my car wouldnt start for about a minute or two. after that it started just fine. this has happened maybe 4-6 times so far owning it. Id come back to my car after work to my car not starting and having someone jump me. I got the battery and alternator tested today and all seemed well with those. So not too sure what to think of it. maybe a starter? anyone else hear about this or had anything similar?

Under warranty? Visit dealer

Yeah sounds like a loose battery cable or your contacts are gunked up and need cleaning. Either way if that's not the case I'm sure being a 2016 its still under warranty and you should bring it back to your dealer and explain the situation. You can also hear a starter when you turn your key close to starting the car. Good luck.

Are you pushing the clutch all the way to floor?

Good luck , I had a 2015 WRX that didn't want to start when cold but was fine when warm . After 32 days in the shop Subaru bought the car back .
Yeah I may need to bring it to the dealership. Battery cables seemed fine. Thankfully still under warranty
It hasn't even been that cold here. So not entirely sure what could be causing it
