Description of the problem	2017 subaru outback. Now on battery #6, third one replaced since february 2020. Battery each time was completely dead, requiring roadside service. Dealer replaces, says they do a system analysis. Roadside towing company each time tells me they see lots of issues with 2016 - 2020 outbacks. Contact with subaru i am told there are no recalls. I was even told i needed to drive the car every few days. That is ridiculous. I have never had any issues like this with other cars in my 56 years of driving. Car was stationary, fortunately at our house so i was not stranded with a dead battery. Doing an internet search for complaints about this i noted there were many complaints expressed.
