Why won’t my Subaru Outback start in cold weather?
Can cold weather cause problems for older cars? I sometimes can’t get my Subaru Outback to start in colder weather and I’m not sure why.

When the temperature drops, your
car battery
may drain more quickly as a result. If you already have an old or weak battery, this can cause your battery to drain enough that your vehicle won’t start without a jump from a battery pack or another vehicle. In these cases, replacing your car battery will usually fix the issue.If your car battery is new or if the problem persists, though, it’s a good idea to
take your car to a mechanic
. Your vehicle may be experiencing problems in other areas, such as your fuel system or a different electrical problem. In these cases, it’s best to get the issue checked out as soon as possible to avoid further or worsening problems.View full answer
