| Description of the problem | I have had 3 batteries replaced in the past four years. Periodically the battery just drains unexpectedly and i am stuck wherever the vehicle happens to be parked. This is not a result of lights being left on, doors open, radio on, etc. Subaru replaces the batteries under warranty, but will not acknowledge that there is an electrical problem and i never know when the car will get stuck because of a drained battery. |
