However, yesterday, I attended a meeting away from my home.  I was in the meeting in the morning for 2 hours.  When I returned to my car, without any previous warning whatsoever,  it would not start.  My car is only 3 years old.  I tried to open the hatch to get my jumper cables, but it requires electricity, I also wanted to roll down my windows because it was so hot, but they also only work with electricity.  So I could do nothing but call for help.  I was lucky that I wasn’t stranded on some remote place where there was no phone signal.  I would not feel comfortable going somewhere on my own in my car, until I know exactly what is causing this problem because I don’t think it is safe — and I could be stranded.  I had to have my car jump started again this morning.  So tomorrow morning, I am taking the car in to have the battery checked.  On December 10, 2019 I took my car in to a Subaru Dealership because I had, had another problem with my Subaru Outback, where I opened my back hatch on two separate occasions,  but I could not get it to close (in the rain).  I believe I called StarLink for help.  However, somehow, by random actions just turning the car off and on, and pushing the “close” button on the back door, it finally worked, but I still don’t understand how or why.  I ended up stranded at a grocery store and an airport when this happened.  When I took it in to get checked at a Subaru dealership, I was told they could find nothing wrong with it.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]}]}
