2017 Subaru OUTBACK Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type codeVEHICLE
 Description of the problemBattery drained while camping 3 nights in a remote location, even though no lights (including interior dome lights) or other accessories (e. G., radio) were used. We did have the power tailgate open at times, which we now understand is badly designed to drain the battery. Dealer (and subaru corp) did not provide adequate explanation for why a battery would drain (especially when only 3 months old). Same thing happened while camping a year later, after which we insisted (requiring considerable argument) on a larger battery. But same thing (drained battery, despite no use of aux elect) just happened on another 3-day camping trip this past week. (in all 3 cases, car was parked for 2-3 days with no lights or radio used, but with power tailgate opened at times for access to camping equipment.)
