| Description of the problem | The battery in the car has failed 4 times in 4 years. Subaru cannot find the reason for the failure. This is not normal and appears to be defect in the car. I am not getting any answers from subaru on why is this happening. The car was parked at home over night the other 2 times just after arriving at our camp site. We stop the car and then shortly attempt to restart the car and nothing happens. Each time the car has been driven hundred of miles. Each camping time we were hundreds of miles from home and without cell phone service. I have reports from subaru and auto zone on replacing the batteries. |
