Bringing the thread back with an update: fob stopped working again. Brought to Subaru and here’s what they’re thinking.
They noticed a bad accident on the car fax. Happened in 2017, lost control and car spun hitting a bunch of wooden posts. Driver side curtain and seat airbag deployed. Had the airbag module reset by myairbags, replaced the driver side seat and curtain airbag. I cannot remember if I replaced the seatbelt. Looking back at old records I don’t think I did, but it’s possible. Subaru thinks it could be the wiring harness (quoted me $3k for the repair, part is also on back order until may. She thinks because the ignition switch plugs into that main harness, possibly it’s shorting it out. They tested the switch in another car and said it works fine.
They suggested taking the car to Toyota due to the alarm system being made by Toyota and seeing if they have any insight to potentially avoid such an expensive repair.
Never imagined this could be related to an accident from 5 years ago, anyone have any input?
