2015 Subaru Outback -and now on my 4th battery. One instance, I got stuck in a small town in nh and had to get a battery that was only 2 years old and battery guaranteed for 5 years. Didn't know I had to bring it back to the mechanic back home so I ended up paying for another battery. 8 months later battery died again. Subaru said to bring it in and they will check it out. It is not warranted and it could take 2 hrs to 10 and I would pay for labor. They need to pay and fix a very well known problem. It has happened to friends who own SUV,s, wagons and sedans. .
My car has a dead battery. I just replaced the battery in November 2018 and it is already dead. This also happened in November 2018 and when I brought it to the dealer they said everything was fine with the battery and they could not find anything wrong. The car runs for a few days and then the car battery dies again. I have the battery swapped out for one with a higher cca. This battery I bought in November 2018 has no power as of February 2020 which is too short of a lifespan. There must be something in the car draining the battery and Subaru does not want to fix it.
2015 Subaru Outback battery fails to hold a charge. I was advised in January 2020 by the Subaru dealership to replace the battery, which I did. The problem is now recurring and the car battery will not hold a charge over night. The dealership claims it does not know what the issue is. The car has become completely unreliable.
My vehicle has had repeated dead battery problems. In Feb the dealer said I needed a new battery and charged me $174. On 5/20/19 my battery was dead. I had it jumped and then drove over 40 miles. On 5/22/19 it was dead again. The dealer said I don't drive enough. Many others have clearly had the same problem. I think I have a lemon.
Car purchased new 2/25/2015. The battery died 4/27/2016 at 9890 miles and replaced under warrantee by Subaru. The battery died again on 9/11/2018 at 35067 miles and was again replaced by Subaru, though not under warranty. Subaru obviously agrees that there is a problem. The battery is again showing signs of weekness in 2021, and I am worried it will die yet again.
