"Great car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

CV joints replaced last year. Other than that nothing major.

General comments?

Great car, but I need HELP! There is something wrong with the starter or ignition. Every few weeks it decides not to start. It may take 2 minutes to 10 minutes before it starts. I've replaced the contacts in the starter twice and have now replaced the starter. It still has that problem. I have called 5 Subaru service departments and they don't have a clue. Can anyone help me?

I have the same issue with my 1990 4wd wagon. I have replaced the starter with no luck. Every once in a while it doesn't start. I have found that if I tap the starter, it starts right up. So now I keep the Subaru issued lug-wrench under the driver's seat. When it doesn't start, I open the hood, tap the starter a couple of times (you can reach it under the spare tire with the lug wrench) and it starts right away. Hope this helps.
