| Description of the problem | The subaru has left me stranded twice now with battery failure. There is no cause for the battery failure. It happens sporadically and is horribly inconvenient. Once, i was alone in a parking lot at night (a woman) with no cell phone. Another time it was 100 degrees outside. And, most recently i had my grandchild with me and we were stranded for an hour. It has 50,000 miles on it. The vehicle was stationary with nothing left on. |
