2019 Subaru Outback

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START IT WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE AND WAS NOT DRIVEN FOR PAST 48 HOURS. 2ND TME THIS HAS HAPPENED. DEALERSHIP SAYS COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN TO THEM. THE LIGHTS ON THE CAR DO NOT WORK EITHER. NOTHING WORKS ON CAR TODAY. CAR HAS 13, 000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS A 2019 OUTBACK. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY PARKED IN MY GARAGE.

I I HAVE A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 16,700 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED IN 11/2018. WHEN I GO AND LOWER THE PASSENGER WINDOW, PUTTING IT BACK UP ON THE ONE TOUCH AUTO FUNCTION IT WILL GO TO THE TOP AND THEN BACK DOWN HALFWAY. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SWITCH BECOMES INOPERATIVE. I HAVE TO RAISE IT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SWITCH SLOWLY TO GET THE WINDOW CLOSED AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER THE CAR IS RUNNING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE AND HOT OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOW. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK AT THE SUBARU DEALER TO LOOK AT IT.

CAR BATTERY DIED APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS AFTER RECEIPT OF THE VEHICLE. NO CAUSE OR DRAIN WAS IDENTIFIED. CAR BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THEN, SAME THING HAPPENED WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE OF BATTERY DRAIN APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AFTER THE CAR BATTERY WAS REPLACED. CONCERNED THAT SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS CAUSING UNEXPECTED BATTERY DRAIN AFFECTING THE BATTERY'S LIFE AND THAT THIS IS RECURRING AND UNDIAGNOSED.

WITH 8400 MILES AND 13 MONTHS OLD BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. 6 DAYS LATER THE CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD AND NEEDED JUMP START. TOOK IT TO DEALER NEXT DAY AND THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM OR REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED. NO EXPLANATION. BOTH TIMES VEHICLE WAS PARKED. SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD STARTED THE CAR JUST 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO BATTERY BEING COMPLETELY DEAD.

WE STARTED HAVING BATTERY ISSUES IN APRIL 2020. I USE THE OUTBACK FOR WORK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND I BEGAN TO NOTICE A WEAK BATTERY AFTER THE WEEKEND. I LET IT SIT FOR THREE DAYS, AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT, IT WAS DEAD. I PUT A CHARGER ON THE BATTERY, STARTED RIGHT UP THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK IT TO WORK AND LATER THAT DAY, ATE LUNCH IN THE CAR. AFTER LISTENING TO THE RADIO FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I STARTED THE CAR TO RUN THE AC. IT HAD TROUBLE STARTING, BUT I MANAGED TO START IT AND LET IT RUN FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. IT WAS STILL A LITTLE SLUGGISH STARTING AFTER WORK, SO I LEFT IT HOME AND TOOK A DIFFERENT CAR THE NEXT DAY. AFTER TAKING A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO WORK, I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN IT WAS DEAD. SUBARU ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WOULD ONLY PAY FOR A TOW FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP; IT WOULD HAVE COST ME OVER $100 TO TOW IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I PUT A NEW BATTERY ON IT IN MAY, AND SO FAR HAVE NOT HAD ANYMORE ISSUES WITH IT STARTING.

THE CAR BATTERY DRAINS AND DIES FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON WHILE JUST PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR A FEW DAYS. WHEN THE BATTERY DIES THE LIFTGATE GETS STUCK AND/OR THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SCREEN FREEZES (AT THE STARLINK LOGO). I HAVE BEEN USING THE CAR FOR SHORT TRIPS BUT HAVE BEEN USING IT MORE THAN THE OTHER VEHICLES IN OUR HOUSEHOLD BUT THE BATTERY OF THE OUTBACK STILL DIES. I HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW AND EACH TIME, I HAVE TO JUMP START THE OUTBACK. I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I WAS DONE SHOPPING THE CAR HAD A DIFFICULT TIME STARTING. THE LIFTGATE GOT STUCK AND I HAD TO ASSIST IT TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHILE THE LIFTGATE WAS OPEN. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, IT HAD THIS SLOW CRANKING SOUND LIKE IT WAS HAVING A HARD TIME TO START THEN AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE A FIVE TO TEN SECONDS THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED. THE DEAD BATTERY ISSUE HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW STARTING IN APRIL 2020 WHEN I FIRST REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER. THE MOST RECENT DEAD BATTER WAS TODAY, 7/3/2020.

BATTERY HAS DIED AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE APRIL 2019. TOOK TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAID "CARGO LIGHT WAS LEFT ON AND DRAINED THE BATTERY", ANOTHER TIME "REAR CARGO DOOR PROBABLY WAS AJAR", THEY ALSO SAID "PERHAPS IT IS NOT BEING DRIVEN ENOUGH" AND "WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THE SYSTEM IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WIFI SIGNAL SO THAT MIGHT DRAIN THE BATTERY TOO". I STOPPED TAKING IT TO DEALER AND RECHARGED IT ON MY OWN. DEALER SAID THEY'D REPLACE THE BATTERY BUT COULD ONLY DO IT WITH THE SAME SIZE AS THE ORIGINAL.

WITHIN ONE YEAR OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK I HAVE HAD TO JUMPSTART IT SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THESE BATTERIES THAT THEY HAVE A BAD CELL IN THEM. SO THEY SAID THEY WILL GET ME A NEWER AND BETTER BATTERY, WELL ALMOST ONE MONTH LATER I NOTICED MY CAR'S BATTERY STARTED TO ACT VERY VERY WEAK AND I BELIEVE WITHIN A DAY OR TWO I WILL NEED TO HAVE A JUMPED AGAIN TO GET IT RUNNING WITHIN ONE YEAR OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK I HAVE HAD TO JUMPSTART IT SEVERAL TIMES AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THESE BATTERIES THAT THEY HAVE A BAD SELLING THEM SO THEY SAID THEY WILL GET ME A NEWER AND BETTER BATTERY WELL ALMOST ONE MONTH LATER I NOTICED MY CAR'S BATTERY STARTED TO ACT VERY VERY WEAK AND I BELIEVE WITHIN A DAY OR TWO I WILL NEED TO HAVE A JUMPED AGAIN TO GET IT RUNNING. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 2 MILES ON IT AND I DON'T DRIVE IT A WHOLE LOT I AM NOW AT 3200 MILES AND I'M HAVING BATTERY ISSUES. THE CAR JUST TURNED ONE YEAR OLD IN MAY OF 2020. THIS CAR SPENDS MOST OF THE WEEK IN A GARAGE AND IT IS REALLY ONLY DRIVEN ON THE WEEKENDS BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE IT JUMPED FOR ONLY SITTING A FEW DAYS IN THE GARAGE. *TR

CAR WILL NOT RESTART AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A WHILE (HOUR OR MORE) THE CAR RESTARTS NORMALLY. IT ACTS LIKE A DEAD BATTERY, BUT ONLY SOMETIMES. THE TURN OFF PERIOD COULD BE AS BRIEF AS 2 MINUTES. I PURCHASED THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN BOISE LARRY H MILLER SUBARU AND ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 4 DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. IT'S NOW AT THE DEALER. CAR HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR
