| Description of the problem | The battery has died randomly over the last 2 years. We finally replaced it after being fed up with being stranded in different locations. Most recently, it died twice within a week. Both times i drove to work, parked and 2 hours later, the car had to be jumped to start. I took the car to subaru and they wanted to charge me $250 to insert the same battery. |
