Description of the problem	2 weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the battery was described as, "completely dead." 1 year later, again, the car would not start and aaa reported the battery as, "completely dead," and could not find anything on in the car. A new battery was placed in the car and 24 hours later, aaa reported the battery as, "completely dead," as the car would not start. I have gone through 3 brand new batteries in 2 years, yet the car continues to drain the battery for no apparent reason. Upon research i found there is a class action lawsuit against subaru for outback vehicles from 2016-2020 due to this exact problem, yet subaru, "refuses to fix the problem."
