2017 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

THIS IS THE SECOND BATTERY FAILURE ON THIS CAR WITH LESS THAN 28000 MILES. FIRST ONE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO.

THE BATTERY KEEPS DYING OVERNIGHT. I HAD TO CHANGE MY STOCK BATTERY PRE-MATURELY AND IT JUST DIES OVERNIGHT. THIS IS GIVING ME STRESS AND COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A PARASITIC DRAIN THAT MAKING THE BATTERY GO DEAD EVEN AFTER ALL LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF

BATTERY DRAIN ISSUES LEAVING MY CAR STRANDED. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES, TOO MANY TO COUNT. FIRST OCCURRENCE IN FEB OF 2018 LEFT ME STRANDED OVERNIGHT AND CLOSE TO 24 HOURS IN A REMOTE LOCATION IN NORTHERN NEVADA. A NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES LATER, SUBARU REPLACED THE OEM BATTERY (IN FEB 2019). I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES OVER THIS PAST YEAR 2020 IN REMOTE LOCATIONS IN WYOMING AND COLORADO THAT HAVE LEFT ME STRANDED.

KEY GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION LATELY WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND IT TAKES AWHILE BEFORE IT'S RELEASED FROM THE IGNITION. I HAVE 52K PLUS MILES NOW ON MY 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK.
