Battery died and had to be replaced.
Went to start my car and battery was dead. Got a jump from aaa but since none of the eyesight safety features worked, I had the car towed to Subaru and they replaced the battery. I was told I'd need to drive it every day to keep the battery charged. That's absurd. To make things worse, remote start will only work for 2 starts. On the 3rd start, it won't start unless you start the car manually. What's the point of having a remote start if you have to start the car manually every 3 days?.
