2017 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

BATTERY DIED MULTIPLE TIMES . LEFT OVERNIGHT, DEAD THE NEXT MORNING.CAR COULD BE JUMPED FROM ANOTHER CAR BUT NOT FROM A LITHIUM ION BATTERY PACK. AFTER MANY AAA CALLS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER . THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP I JUST SAID I'LL BUY ANOTHER BATTERY. . I'VE HAD 3 BATTERIES IN 4 YEARS.

I HAVE FACED BATTERY ISSUE WITH SUBARU OUTBACK NUMEROUS OF TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 17FEB, 2017 AS BRAND NEW SUBARU OUTBACK 2017. I FACED BATTERY ISSUE FIRST IN APRIL 02, 2018. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START ALL THE TIME, I ALSO GOT STUCK CAR WON'T START, AWAY FROM MY HOME. I SHOWED TO THE DEALER AND BATTERY TEST FAILED, THEY REPLACED WITH SAME OEM BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS STILL IN WARRANTY JANUARY, 2020 SAME ISSUE RE-APPEARED. THE DEALER TESTED BATTERY AND REPLACED WITH SAME OEM BATTERY AGAIN. I STILL BELIEVE THERE IS ISSUE WITH THEIR BATTERY AND NO SURPRISE IF I GET STUCK AGAIN WITH SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 4 TIMES AND LESS THAN 5 YEARS.

THE CAR HAS 30K MILES AND THE BATTERY DRAINED OUT SUDDENLY. THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER BATTERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT BATTERY HAD LOW CHARGE. I THINK THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME AS OTHER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING.

MY WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN THREE MONTHS ONCE 2-20-19 AND 5-6-2019.

2017 OUTBACK. UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. ONCE IN PARK TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH DOESN'T HELP TO RELEASE THE KEY. MOVED GEAR SHIFT MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE KEY WAS REMOVED. THE KEY ISN'T PARTICULARLY WORN.

MY SUBARU OUTBACK IS LESS THAN 3Y 9M AFTER BEING PURCHASED A BRAND NEW AND IT ALREADY GOT 5 (FIVE !!!) NEW BATTERIES REPLACED WITHOUT BEING IDENTIFIED WITH ANY ISSUES BY SUBARU TECHNICIANS. THE FIRST TIME THE BATTERY DIED WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY 7 MONTH OLD ON THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. A NEW OEM BATTERY (#2) HAS BEEN INSTALLED AT THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP. 14 MONTHS LATER THIS SUBARU BATTERY #2 IS DEAD, REPLACED BY A NEW AAA BATTERY #3 THAT WITHIN TWO MONTHS WAS DEAD, EXTREMELY CORRODED. ONCE AGAIN I WAS FORCED TO ADDRESS THE SAME ISSUE, BRINGING THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE A NEW OEM SUBARU BATTERY #4 WAS INSTALLED AND COVERED BY A THICK LAYER OF PETROLEUM JELLY. THE BATTERY #4 HAS LASTED ONLY FOR 17 MONTHS. THUS A NEW SUBARU OEM BATTERY #5 HAD TO BE INSTALLED. EVERY TIME I'M TOLD THE CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED, NO ISSUES HAVE BEEN FOUND,THOUGH I HAD ALSO REPORTED THAT I KEPT ADJUSTING THE CLOCK IN MY CAR EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS,IT HAS BEEN FALLING BEHIND. IT'S HARD TO ACCEPT THAT SUBARU TECHNICIANS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE PARASITIC DRAIN PROBLEM IN MY CAR. WHAT IS EXACTLY GOING ON WITH MY SUBARU OUTBACK 2017 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM?TOO MUCH FRUSTRATION WHEN I MISSED MY WORKING HOURS, MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS DUE TO DEALING WITH THE CAR THATIS NOT STARTING, AS WELL AS WITNESSING MY CAR LOSING ITS VALUE. ALL THE DOCUMENTS ARE KEPT IN A FILE, MY NOTES ARE RECORDED.

CAR WAS REAR ENDED (DRIVER SIDE REAR) AT FULL SPEED, WHICH THEN PUSHED US INTO A PARKING LOT, SPECIFICALLY THE CORNER WITH A CEMENT PILING WITH A LIGHT POLE WHICH COLLAPSED, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO SEPARATE CRACKS HAD FORMED ON THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT INCIDENT OR IMPACT. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CRACK HAD FORMED ON THE MIDDLE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED HOWEVER, ANOTHER CRACK HAD FORMED ON THE LOWER DRIVER SIDE OF THE REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD, WITHOUT INCIDENT OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRACKS OBSTRUCTED HER VIEW WHILE DRIVING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000. *DT

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KEEPS DRAINING THE BATTERY. I HAVE TO KEEP A BATTERY JUMPER IN MY CAR BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS CONSTANTLY DEAD. I'M IN MY 2ND BATTERY AND HAVING TO JUMP STAR5 IT AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES.
