Description of the problem	Subaru forester battery dies repeatedly after sitting for very short periods of time. Three times within the first year of owning the vehicle (bought it new). First time, dealer told me it must be my fault because it tested fine, 2nd time they said it was an issue with a start stop fuse (car doesn't have that feature) draining the battery, 3rd time they said it was starlink electrical issue draining the battery. I cannot recall if they replaced the battery each time, but i know i was told that it was replaced at least twice. Worked fine for another year after the starlink solution and has again been acting up. Car doesn't want to start and left me stranded in a remote mountain location in the dead of winter.
