3 times in the past month, my battery has been dead for no reason. My car only has 3800 miles. My car was parked in my garage.
Our seven month old 2020 Outback battery has died three times. Our latest dead battery revealed extremely concerning statistics according to our aaa service technician.
We bought our 2020 Subaru Outback on 12/16/19. Did a road trip for 800 miles in Jan-2020 with no problems. The car currently only has 2,100 miles on it. On may 1st we went to start the car after it sat for a week or so and the battery was completely dead to where we had to use our emergency manual key to open the door. We had to jump it for quite awhile before it got enough of a charge to start. We took it on an hour drive to try and get the battery recharged. Monday may 4th we tried to start the car and it was dead again, jumped it and took it to the Subaru dealer. The dealer checked the electrical system and recharged the battery. I picked it up on Tuesday the 5th and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. Wednesday morning the car battery was dead again. Friday we had to jump it to drive it to the dealer. When we got home the dealer called to say that our car that we just left wouldn't start and they had to jump it. They are going to check it out on Monday and let us know what they find out.
I purchased this vehicle in February, 2020. After driving it less than 1500 miles, the battery died, requiring a jump start. Less than 2 weeks later, and having been driven almost daily, it went dead again. This is a known problem that Subaru has to address. When I spoke with the service department at carlsen Subaru, redwood city, CA, they claimed to know nothing about it. They offered to inspect the car, but would only replace the battery with another, equivalent battery.
