    LAME, but at the same time that is sort of funny. Why would you tow a surbaru to a ford dealership? I think the two truck guy just slapped you in the face with that tow.

    I had a similar problem, turned out the battery took a crap. I'd have them check that first.

    called tow company(T&T) at 740am. talk to a guy saying he will tell a driver about the miss tow.
    call tow company(T&T) at 10am was told i had to call AAA to set up the tow.
    call AAA at 1005am talk to a lady was told that tell will call me back in a bit when car was towed.
    called AAA at 1pm was told never had my call from 10am set up for a tow. so she just set up a tow with a different company and told me with in 180min it will be towed to morries subaru.
    got a call from morries subaru 3:30pm saying they got the car but does not think they will be able to work on it today

    for the giggles of it I put in err 55 or 52 in the search bar on alldata and it came up with...(what I would assume as a manufactures code charts)
    DTC 52 FR TRANSMIT BATTERY LOW VOLTAGE something to do with the Tire pressure warning system.
    and
    DTC 55 SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FIRING OUTPUT

    but for some reason I don't think these are why your car isn't starting.....sorry I a big bad of no help.

    so they cant duplcate the no start issue, and the scantool wont mate with my car.
    but was told i need a rear sturt and wheel bearing. was wounding how hard is the wheel bearing is it a press in type, or just bolted in place. also how hard are the rear sturts

    Bummer about the no-start issue.

    As for the wheel bearings, I thought Subaru had extended the warranty on them, I forget if 75k or 100k. Ask the dealer about it.
    For rear strut in the wagon its not too bad. Worst part is breaking the lower bolt loose, the first time I did it I had to use a jack to get enough leverage, even a big breaker bar wasn't enough. They must use a hell of an impact gun at the factory when installing those.
