Starting issue
 

About half of the time my car takes a long time to turn over, sometimes as many as 10 cranks (rare), but notably longer than normal about half the time.

Had this happened with anyone else?

I probably started the car about 20 times so far, but this never happened.

Not mine. It turns over 2-3 times before it fires up...

This.

Ill man up and admit the only time it's taking longer than 3 was during practice doing hill starts in manual gearbox. I left and drove around to recharge the battery

No starting issues with mine.

I guess I'll take it in to the shop. I just didn't want to be "that guy" who's in every other week. I was in last week because I found a scratch that was there on delivery that they fixed.

Interesting. I assumed the car would have an automatic starter (the computer cranks the car once you turn the key to the start position) since the Subaru (and 86) have the push button start option. On my Odyssey, I just flick the key and the computer does the starting for me (even though there is no push button start option) and on the contrary, you cannot engage the starter once the car is running.

Anyone tried to just flick the key and see if it starts?

Maybe it's your engine immobilizer. If the car doesn't recognize the microchip from your key, it'll just keep cranking until the microchip is nearby.

sorry to bring up an old post, but the only 2 times i've experienced this my car was parked on an incline. are any of you guys parked on an incline when experiencing the issue?

this happen out to me when I stalled out when I was drifting around but it didn't take 10 more like 5 and it only happen one time even though I have stalled out since

Happened to me the first time this morning :(

Yeah same here, the engine was not happy with me spinning out and stalling, plus this was an AT :)

My did take a few extra cranks once, but that was it. Hasn't happened again.

Mine did it twice after a week i had it and never happened again. Knock on wood!
