| Description of the problem | Our subaru outback originally died after my wife was sitting in the car listening to the radio for 10 minutes. The dealer stated that listening to the radio was the cause and charged up the battery. Couple weeks later and the car dies again this time just sitting in the driveway. We installed a new battery in hopes the problem would be fixed. The car has died multiple times since the new battery from simply sitting in the driveway. No interior lights left on and power light gate closed. Again the dealer charged the battery and sent us on our way. We cannot leave this car sitting one day without the battery draining. We are now on battery number two. |
