Starter problems of the 2017 Subaru Outback

My battery has seemed weak for over a year. On a routine service, I had asked Subaru of santa fe to inspect my battery. It checked out as good. Yet, every time I started the car, it would seem like the starter was laboring with a drained battery. Of late I have had to jumpstart the car a few times, even. I took it for inspection today to auto zone, to see if I needed a new battery. They checked it and said the battery was fine and did not need replacement. I looked up the internet to see if others had similar problems. Sure enough, I discovered that there is a legal suite regarding an identical issue for the same year mske and model car as mine. The battery has never died while the car is in operation or moving, but only when the car is started. This could be a safety issue if the vehicle is stranded in a remote or unsafe location. To my knowledge,.

Battery drains prematurely? I've had to have it jump started 3 times in the past couple weeks. Had it checked out & battery, alternator, and starter are fine. Battery just dead in the driveway in the morning. Roadside assist guy recommended filing a report because he'd heard others had had problems, too, possibly with back hatch not closing properly causing dome lights to stay on and drain battery. Did find back dome light on 1 night, turned off light, and reclosed hatch. I feel like I've been diligent since but it was dead again this morning anyway. Date listed below is most recent incident. Previous 2 incidents were about a week ago and about 2-3 days apart.

I am experiencing repeated battery drain leaving the vehicle unable to start. The dealer says I am leaving something electrical "on" when I park it. It has gotten so bad that I carry a starter jump pack battery to get it going when the battery goes dead. The original equipment battery rating is 200 cold crank amps below the standard of 550 cca seen in most cars. This problem has been going on since I first purchased the vehicle new.

On December 7, 2020, at approximately 1200 hours, I returned to my 2017 Subaru Outback after a brief shopping trip. The battery was unable to start the vehicle. I had to use a portable battery starter to start the vehicle. The drive from my residence to the store was approximately 20 minutes long. The first thing I noticed upon starting up my vehicle was it drew hard from the battery, almost not starting. I am not new to this issue, as it has occurred several times over the past 4. 5 years of owning this vehicle. The battery that came with my vehicle, purchased in July of 2016, was replaced under warranty at 808 miles. The battery was replaced again approximately 2 years later, suffering from the same issues. The battery would work okay at best, then start to draw hard on the battery, then die completely. When tested, all of the batteries were supposedly suffering from a bad cell. 3 batteries were replaced under warranty. The current battery was purchased just outside of warranty in 2019, as the last warranty battery was in 2017. This battery is supposedly a newer, updated model with more cca. I do not leave lights on in the car, or any electronics plugged in due to this consistent issue. This recurring issue has lead to a lack of trust in the vehicle starting, having stranded my family several times. To combat this issue, I keep a portable battery charger and jumper cables in the vehicle.

Vehicle bought in 2017. In 2018, battery drained three different occasions: twice, I had to call roadside assistance; third time, another person helped me start my car. I happened on 9/30/18, after parking outside an animal hospital. I took it to the dealership to get it checked and I was explained that the battery doesn't charge enough during short trips. I opted to buy a car starter portable battery, given the frequency and inconvenience of getting stuck in places. I ordered it on October, 2018. I don't recall how many times I used the car starter kit in 2019. However, in 2020, it has been already 4 times I've had to use it to start my car: once on 04/04/2020 and since then, other three times. Once after being parked for a few days, and today, 05/09/20, twice: after stopping, waiting to drive into a ferry, and then, to start the car to leave the ferry.

Rear door (trunk) does not stop closing or does not opening nor by button on the front panel, nor by remote. Battery is getting discharged after I stop and close it. I have to keep the jump starter battery in the car and use it every week, sometimes - every day. Battery itself was tested good several times (I've started with it). All surfaces around end switches are clean, there a re no alarm indication about open door. At dealership they charged me $80 but did not find/help at all.

The contract called on behalf of his father who owns a 2017 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that the battery was replaced on several occasions. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to miller hill Subaru (4710 miller trunk hwy, duluth, mn 55811) where the failure was diagnosed as a faulty battery, remote starter, sensor and rear liftgate. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was unknown.
