Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your 2009 Subaru Forester only cranks and won’t start below 35 degrees, it's like your car’s not a fan of winter. This issue is often tied to the battery, as colder temperatures reduce its cranking power. But since it cranks, you might want to check the coolant temperature sensor—it helps the engine adjust fuel delivery in cold weather. If the sensor’s faulty, the engine might not get the right fuel mix to start. You might also want to look into the fuel pump or fuel lines—cold weather can sometimes cause them to freeze up or malfunction.
