2019 Subaru Outback Complaint Log

We have had to replace 2 windshields on our vehicle and 1 on a loaner while ours was in shop for window replacement. Also while our car was in shop having 2nd windshield replaced, they had to delay giving us our car back stating the windshield shattered while being installed. That is 4 windshields in 30,000 miles. The smallest ding in these windshields cause an immediate crack from side to side obscuring visibility making them dangerous to drive. On these cracks you can see the windshields are incredibly thin. There is clearly an issue with how these are made and immediate safety hazard. I also believed the cost of these replacements should be made clear to consumers at purchase due to the extremely high cost associated with replacement.

Windshield cracked after small rock hit it. This should not have caused any damage.

The battery died, 2 times in approximately 2 weeks with no lights left on or doors open. This has occurred at least one other time.

I would have experienced the same battery issues for the last 14 months. 12 months ago I purchased a back up charged starting battery that I use on a monthly basis. Subaru did advise of the battery warranty extension of which I took advantage of today I’ve seen the other complaints in the nature site and being from the automotive industry myself, I believe that when you look back to the DCM issues from 2016 to 2018 and the latest issues on the 2023 you’ll find a common thread it’s not just a button. One key thing is that units of measure for the tire pressure monitoring system Arbitrarily change while you were in operation from psi to kilopascals. It indicates to me that there is still some Telematic related event and the vehicle isn’t sure where it is at a given time so it sets the units and the time to what amount to mountain time Canada. Just thought I’d give you a hint. I do believe you’ll find that and that poses a big challenge for the SOS button. If you can’t locate the vehicle or it isn’t where they think it should be , may not be the button.

Chipped and cracked windshield. My first Subaru Outback was a 2018. The windshield was chipped 2 times than the third time I had it replaced at my expense. Traded that car in and the 2019 windshield cracked.

Parasitic battery drain frequently causes my battery to die after only hours parked. I often have to jumpstart the car in the morning.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated while entering the vehicle after a short drive to the store he noticed a crack near the front passenger’s side of the windshield. The contact stated that there was no impact on the windshield to cause the damage. The contact stated it had started raining for a short time while he was in the store. Once he returned to the vehicle he noticed the crack. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not provided.

Three windshields have now cracked beyond repair and needed to be replaced with barely 33,000 miles on the vehicle. The first replacement was done in July 2019 when the car was barely six months old. The second replacement was done in April 2021, barely two months ago. That third windshield cracked the second week of June 2021. It is currently scheduled for replacement.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that the windshield abruptly fractured. The contact stated the windshield fractured on the driver’s side 1 to 2 inches and the fractured expanded to the entire windshield. The contact stated that an object did not hit the windshield The vehicle was taken to the dealer, the dealer information was not available however, they replaced the windshield. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 26,000. The VIN was not available.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated after exiting a car wash drive-thru, while drying the windshield he noticed and small 1-inch crack located on the lower driver side. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the windshield crack started to expand across the center of the windshield. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the windshield to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 26,000.

Drove into the Walgreen's parking lot, made several low speed turns to arrive at the west side of the building. Pulled into an empty parking space. Entered parking space at very low rate of speed and proceeded to brake to a full stop. Moved shift lever with the intent to move transmission from Drive to Park and despite my foot still being on the brake, the car suddenly lurched forward, drove over the curb and sidewalk, crossed sidewalk and hit the side of the store (a brick wall). Car bounced back to a midpoint of the sidewalk. Engine was still running but car came to a full stop. I turned off the engine. Two Walgreen employees came out to see if I was OK (they heard the impact). I told them I was but later my chest hurt and I found a bruise suggesting impact with the steering wheel. Entire front of car is damaged. There were no warning notifications from the car (no parking or forward collision warnings). My right foot never left the brake pedal. The "unexpected acceleration" lunge forward occurred with the attempted shift of the transmission from Drive to Park. The transmission ended up being in Neutral when the car finally stopped moving. Floor mat was in the normal position, secured by the built-in pins, had not shifted and was not near the brake or accelerator (gas) pedal. Cruise control was not turned on. This was a routine trip to a local store.

While sitting at a stoplight, I heard a loud cracking sound and noticed a large crack had begun to form from the side of the windshield. Nothing had fallen onto, or hit the windshield, it seemed to just crack for no apparent reason.

The battery in our brand new 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK kept on being drained after moderate usage. Twice it was from leaving the hatch up for a couple of hours, once we were driving out in the country and parked to look at the scenery briefly and the battery died leaving us stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It didn't feel safe to be out there as night was approaching and we were waiting for a tow truck. All in all had to call SUBARU Roadside Assistance and have the battery jumped on three or four separate occasions. Because of this we bought a portable battery charger to keep in the car at all times because we were afraid of getting stuck with a dead battery. We ended up needing to use that battery charger on about 3 different occasions. Eventually the electrical system started acting very erratic with spontaneous alarms, loud chirping sounds and door locks so we took it in to Southern Oregon SUBARU who replaced the battery for us. Changing the battery seemed to fix all of the problems. That was in February 2021. The battery had a 30 month warranty. This week on June 1, 2021 we came back from vacation where we had left the SUBARU safely parked in our driveway. It would not start when we returned. We only have 1 vehicle so this was very inconvenient for us. The battery was dead. We tried to charge it with our battery charger but the battery was just too dead to take a charge. So, we had one night without a vehicle. We called SUBARU roadside assistance and they sent out a tow truck driver who could not get the battery jumped because it was so dead it just would not start. That was our second night without a vehicle. The next afternoon SUBARU roadside service sent out another towbtruck driver who had a more powerful battery charger and he was able to get the battery to start. We drove the SUBARU OUTBACK to Southern Oregon SUBARU and they are working on it now.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the front windshield cracked when a stone hit the upper right corner of the windshield. There were no reported injuries. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed that the windshield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact was provided a 2021 Subaru Outback loaner and while driving, the windshield cracked when a stone struck the front windshield. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Windshield seemingly cracked without any provocation/collision. Crack occurred while vehicle was parked away from traffic, and requires windshield replacement.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked, when she noticed there was a crack on the passenger's side windshield. There was no impact to the windshield that could have caused the crack. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Today May 22 around 4:19 PM no cars close to us while driving we had the front windshield spontaneously crack there was no impact there was no impact heard all we heard was like cracking sound I have seen online where Subaru is using an acoustic type of glass and people are reporting cracked windshields I would like to have this investigated furthermore I’d like to have Subaru repair my vehicle.

UNKNOWN Three times in five months when the car has been running and then turned off it won't start again for 15-30 minutes. Everything regarding the engine is locked. Can't even put in neutral to move vehicle if in traffic.

Vehicle was parked for four and a half days in a public garage, with which I pay for monthly parking. Upon my request, vehicle was waiting for me to pick it up. The vehicle seemed to be intact. Just after leaving the garage, I used the front, then the back wipers to clean the windshields. The back (hatch) windshield completely shattered into the vehicle. Nothing hit it, no accidents with other vehicles or objects occurred. While no one was hurt, the incident was alarming. The integrity and strength of a vehicle's windows/ and windshields are important. There was no prior warning or alert.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED WITHOUT INCIDENT OR IMPACT. THE CRACK WAS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM CENTER SECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO TIMES PREVIOUSLY. THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,600.

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUR WINDSHIELD CRACKED. WE AREN'T SURE IF THE CRACK WAS CREATED BY A ROCK OR NOT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING HAPPEN. IT JUST CRACKED AND SPLIT AND AS WE DROVE, IT CONTINUED TO GROW. IT'S ABOUT 9 INCHES AT THIS POINT.

Driving down the Interstate the front windshield sounded like a pebble hit it even though there were no other cars in front of ours. Later that day, the small mark cracked two more inches along the drivers side. Within another day the crack has now extended for approximately one foot in one direction and another foot in the other direction, in a circular pattern.

Broken windshield - twice in 5 months traveling the same road that I traveled with a 2007 Jeep and never had a broken windshield in 13 years. I believe these windshields are to thin and are subject to cracking. The first time I was hit with a very small rock, barely a ping, the 2nd time I was hit with a larger rock, but way up near the roof which shouldn't have caused a broken windshield. I have been driving 54 years and this is the first auto with such a sensitive windshield. I will sell this vehicle if this happens again.

Car battery has failed no less than three times. Upon failure, car is completely inoperable. Used Subaru roadside assistance to jump the car. The battery has drained on more than one occasion. No inspections. No warnings or prior symptoms before the dead battery. Available for inspection upon request.

Bought with 11,258 mi. Battery already replaced, receipt in glove compartment. Hard to start, keeping on battery charger now when parked in garage.

MY 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD AT THE BOTTOM/SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH NO SIGN OF IMPACT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD A SMALL ROCK IMPACT NEAR THE LINE OF SIGHT CAMERAS THAT WAS EASILY REPAIRED BY SAFELIGHT WITH NO ISSUES WITH CRACKING. TODAY I CAME OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE TO FIND MY PARKED OUTBACK'S WINDSHIELD HAS A CRACK FROM THE SAME PASSENGER SIDE POINT AS THE FIRST CRACK. THE CRACK WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A VERY SMALL CHIP LOOKING IMPACT (SMALLER THAN THE POINT OF A BALL POINT PEN) APPROX 4" FROM THE LOWER CORNER PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT RECALL HEARING AN IMPACT AT ANY POINT. BEYOND NOT HEARING AN IMPACT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH THAT A SAFESUBARU WINDSHIELD SHOULD CRACK SO DEEPLY AND SO LONG FROM A TINY IMPACT. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT MANY OTHER SUBARU DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE SUBARU PROTECT THEIR DRIVERS FROM DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELDS, AS THEY SEEM TO BE TAKING ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HUGE SAFETY RISK THESE POORLY DESIGNED WINDSHIELDS ARE CAUSING.

The windshield on this Subaru has been replaced 4 times. Each time has been a crack that starts where the frame and windshield meet. No breakage or cracks have occurred in the center of the glass. The glass has been replaced by the dealer, and replacement has been needed within 6-9 months. The last occurrence was in my (driver) line of sight, which was a safety hazard. The prior 3 occurrences originated on the passenger side. The manufacturer is aware of this problem, with no recall or attempt to change the windshield glass.

THE CAR REPEATEDLY DRAINS THE BATTERY FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON, LEAVING US STRANDED WITH A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT EVEN BE JUMPED TO START. THE BATTERY IS SO DEAD I CAN'T EVEN GET THE DOORS OPEN. IT HAS STRANDED ME AT HOME, AND VARIOUS TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN OUT DOING ERRANDS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU'RE A SINGLE WOMAN STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN THE DARK. I'VE HAD TO CALL SUBARU SERVICE TO JUMP THE CAR ONCE, HAVE JUMPED IT THREE TIMES MYSELF AT HOME, ONCE AT THE GROCERY STORE, AND HAVE HAD TO PLACE A TOTALLY DEAD BATTERY ON THE CHARGER AT HOME SIX TIMES. IT WAS ALREADY TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR TWICE TO THE DEALER IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA,AND THEY "FOUND NOTHING WRONG". BUT, NOW IT'S COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY AGAIN, AFTER JUST DRIVING IT ON THE FREEWAY FOR TWO HOURS FOUR DAYS AGO.

My battery has gone dead twice in the past 2 weeks leaving me stranded and needing to find someone to come jump start my car.

BATTERY DRAINED AFTER 25,000 MILES

OUR SUBARU 2019 OUTBACK SUFFERED A CRACK DURING NORMAL USAGE ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 50 MPH. THE CRACK OCCURRED TWO DAYS AGO (ON 5/2/2021) AND HAS SINCE GROWN DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S VIBRATION DURING USE. THE VEHICLE QUALIFIES AS A MAKE AND MODEL UNDER RECALL BY SUBARU FOR WINDSHIELD DEFECTS.

I'VE OWNED MY 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK FOR <2 YEARS AND IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS I'VE HAD THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED TWICE DUE TO SMALL PEBBLES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, WHICH HAVE NEVER CRACKED ANY OF MY PREVIOUS WINDSHIELDS IN 16 YEARS OF EXTENSIVE DRIVING AROUND THE COUNTRY. IN OTHER CARS, I HAVE HAD MANY PEBBLES AND SMALL DEBRIS HIT MY WINDSHIELD WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A SMALL CHIP. WITH THE SUBARU OUTBACK, BOTH CRACKS BECAME LARGE FRACTURES, BLOCKING VISIBILITY. DUE TO THE EYESIGHT SYSTEM AND NECESSARY RECALIBRATION AFTER WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT, THE FIRST REPLACEMENT COST NEARLY $900. CURRENTLY, I AM DRIVING WITH THE SECOND CRACK BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT YET. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED NOVEMBER 2020 AND APRIL 2021.

APX APR 25, 2021 NOTICED CRACKED WINDSHIELD IN AM WHEN STARTING CAR FOR WORK. CRACK WAS IN MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD. CAR PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. NOTIFIED INSURANCE COMPANY, TOLD ME TO HAVE IT FIXED AT SAFELITE AUTO GLASS WO# 388826. ALSO NOTICED MY ACCESSORY POWER OUTLET WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL, (INSTRUMENT PANEL)CALLED DEALER, MADE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ALSO NOTICED MY

THREE TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS MY BATTERY DIED AND REQUIRED EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT, I CALLED SUBARU AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEN THE NEW BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE. ONLINE SEARCHES RECENTLY HAVE REVEALED WIDE SPREAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SUBARU OUTBACK'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESULTING IN REPEATED BATTERY FAILURE. AT THIS TIME THE ONLY OUTCOME FROM THIS HAS BEEN THE BATTERY FAILURE, BUT IF THERE ARE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS I'M CONCERNED THAT MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS, LIKE A FIRE, COULD ARISE. FORTUNATELY EACH TIME THE BATTERY DIED THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE AT HOME. THE CAR IS DRIVEN REGULARLY, AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, FOR NOT LESS THAN THIRTY MINUTES, SO I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS, INDEED, A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAUSING THE BATTERY TO NOT RECHARGE, OR CREATING A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLE.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON ITS OWN. NO IMPACT. RESEARCH SAYS THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS DEFECT. VEHICLE STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT'S MOTHER OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON EXITING THE DRIVEWAY, HE NOTICED A CRACK HAD FORMED ON THE LOWER, DRIVER'S SIDE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WITHOUT INCIDENT OR IMPACT. AS THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE, THE HORIZONTAL CRACK BEGAN TO SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING HIS VISION. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT YET REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT EXTERNAL CAUSE AS I WAS EXITING THE GARAGE.

THE ELECTRIC PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS GOING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING....THINKING SOMETHING WAS STUCK IN THERE,, I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND THERE WAS NOTHING BLOCKING IT BUT I FINALLY GOT IT SHUT.. THEN, LATER IN THE WEEK, AFTER HAVING THE REAR GATE OPEN FOR ABOUT 15 MINS. LOADING IT, THE CAR WAS DEAD. IT HAD TO BE JUMPED. ONCE RUNNING, THE BEEPER WOULD NOT STOP BEEPING IN THE REAR GATE. I COULD NOT OPEN THE REAR GATE, SO I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A RESET. TODAY, AS GOT IN IT AND ONCE STARTED, THE ELECTRIC EYE WAS DISENGAGED ALONG WITH BST ON STARTUP. THE CAR IS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON APRIL 21ST.

The battery has drained six times since April 15, 2021. Available for inspection upon request. Risk factors for safety: unable to get husband and mother to medical appointments; unable to leave residence for ANY reason; potential for stranding in unsafe areas. Problem has been addressed with dealership who has not identified a specific problem, from June 11, 2021. No inspection by anyone other than service department at dealership who stated "Inspected customer concern, found battery and charging system testing good, found no parasitic draw for power. Found vehicle operating as designed (June 11, 2021). Of course battery was charged after it was driven 60 miles to dealership! There have been NO warnings of any kind. First of six failures occurred on April 15, 2021.

BATTERY FAILED AND WILL NOT RECHARGE. HAD TO REPLACE IT. OUTBACK IS ONLY 27 MONTHS OLD. FAILED AFTER SHORT TRIP TO LIBRARY. HAD TO HAVE IT JUMPED TO GET HOME.

THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED AFTER ONLY 30 MINUTES OF TURNING CAR OFF. WE HAD TO HAVE A SERVICE CALL.

WE WERE DRIVING SOUTH ON 275 BETWEEN 8MILE AND 7MILE IN MICHIGAN IN OUR 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK AND OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A PISTOL BEING SHOT NEXT TO OUR EARS WENT OFF AND GLASS CAME POURING IN FROM THE SUNROOF. WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE. WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WE CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA AND THEY TOLD US THAT WITHOUT EVERY SHARD OF GLASS FOR THEM TO INSPECT WE COULD NOT PROVE THAT IT WAS A DEFECT. HOWEVER LET ME MAKE A NOTE THERE WERE NOT CARS VERY CLOSE TO US, WE WEREN'T GOING UNDER A BRIDGE AND THERE WASN'T ANY ONE THROWING THINGS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER SUBARU BLAMED AN IMAGINARY PEBBLE THAT HIT THE TOP OF THE SUNROOF DEAD ON AND THAT IMAGINARY PEBBLE DID NOT END UP INSIDE OF OUR CAR.

My 2019 Subaru Outback unintentionally accelerated. I was sitting in my SUV waiting for an electronic gate to open at my storage unit. I was about 10-15 feet in front of the gate. My foot was firmly on the brake and the car was in drive. I have been at this gate many times. This time, before the gate could fully open, the car raced forward at top speed into the gate. Damaging my bumper and terrifying me! The gate did stop the car. I felt like a ghost had slammed a foot on the gas pedal!!! The breaks did nothing. The Subaru floor mat was attached with 2 pegs and sticks like velcro to the carpet. Thank God I was not at a crosswalk or in front of a building - I would have killed myself or someone else! I reported this to my local dealer and they referred me to Subaru of America. The dealer had my car for 6 weeks and S.O.A. sent a team to inspect the car for 6 hours. Customer service after 6 weeks said my car was fine. That no issues were found! They will not provide me with a list of tests completed or what was reported by the "Black Box" on board. All I have is a email from Peter at Customer Service (that was my 3rd and final rep.) that that is all the information that he has or can get and the care is fine to drive! If that is so, why is there a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against them!

BATTERY DEAD, NO ELECTRICAL FUNCTION FROM CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN SHE NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,732.

AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED ON JAN. 12TH, 2021. ON APRIL 9TH, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THIS TIME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT DIDN'T GET HIT BY ANYTHING

BATTERY DRAIN. PURCHASED 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK IN NOVEMBER 2018. IN OCTOBER 2020 (23 MONTHS) IT FAILED TO START AFTER STAYING OVERNIGHT AT REST STOP IN MIDDLE OF LONG DRIVE. CHECKED BY DEALER AFTER TRIP --"BATTERY OK. NO PROBLEMS." OVER NEXT 5 MONTHS OF INFREQUENT SHORT TRIPS, OUTBACK FAILED TO START MULTIPLE TIMES. MEASURED CURRENT DRAIN WHEN VEHICLE OFF WAS FOUND TO BE WITHIN SUBARU ALLOWABLE (<70 MILLIAMPS) BUT ONLY AFTER 15-20 MINUTES AFTER EVERYTHING HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. CURRENT DRAIN DURING THE 15-20 MINUTES WAS AS HIGH AS 2 AMPS. ANY ACTIVITY (E.G., OPENING A DOOR, SETTING ALARM) RE-INITIATED THE 15-20 MINUTES OF HIGH CURRENT DRAIN. PHONED DEALER: ONLY SOLUTION (WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD) WAS REPLACEMENT WITH SAME OEM BATTERY. DECIDED TO REPLACE WITH MORE ROBUST, NON-SUBARU BATTERY, SINCE MY EXPERIENCE AND REPORTS OF OTHERS INDICATED OEM BATTERY WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT TO HANDLE AMOUNT OF DRAIN. PURCHASED OPTIMA RED25 BATTERY FROM AUTO PARTS STORE ON 6 APRIL 2021 FOR $199.99. I BELIEVE THAT SUBARU NEEDS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE OF CURRENT DRAIN (PREFERABLY) AND/OR EQUIP THE OUTBACK WITH AN ADEQUATE BATTERY WITH MORE RESERVE POWER. SINCE MY ORIGINAL BATTERY FAILED UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSE OF $199.99.

VEHICLE PURCHASED Q2 2020. BATTERY HAS COMPLETELY DISCHARGED TWICE DESPITE NOTHING BEING LEFT ON AND VEHICLE IN CONSTANT USE. BATTERY JUMP STARTER UNABLE TO DETECT ANY VOLTAGE AND COULD NOT JUMP BATTERY.

I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR AND NOTICED A LARGE WINDSHIELD CRACK THAT IS GETTING LARGER. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA OR EVENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN.

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON ITS OWN LAST SATURDAY (4/3/21) WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE MY BUSINESS. NO SIGNS OF ANY DAMAGE ELSEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE AND NONE OF MY EMPLOYEES SAW ANYONE NEAR MY CAR.*DT
