So there are no codes and no "issues" detected by the computer? Is a mechanic looking at fixing this or are you trying to fix this yourself (or with some help)?
That's a good place to start ^^ the starter solenoid.
Hi...I have a 2010 Forester 5 speed. No problems at all until now. I had brakes done..pretty routine, but within a couple of days my battery died..again, no big deal. A couple of days later, all of the braking sensors came on while I was driving. My mechanic said it was a sensor or switch, I don’t remember which, and replaced it. Heading down the hill to work the next day, the traction control light came on and the engine died. Back to the mechanic who said it was a security response because the battery had been replaced. I got it back again yesterday and the same thing happened again. What do I do now? This is getting crazy and with a 97 mile daily commute, it’s making me nervous. Thanks in advance for ideas.
