| Description of the problem | In january, 2020, my 2019 subaru outback failed to start because the battery was dead. It did start with a jump but had a dead battery the next time i wanted to use it. I had the outback towed to the nearest dealer over 100 miles away. They offered no help, telling me the problem was battery drainage from the remote starter i had installed. So, i drove home and then another 100 miles in the opposite direction to have the starter checked. The technician told me the remote starter was within acceptable range. I managed to get through the winter with a battery maintainer. The outback was fine once the weather warmed up this spring. Then in may, 2020, i again had problems. The hatch did not open, made clicking noises, and beeped when i would drive the outback. This problem after having to jump start the outback because the battery would again be dead. Not fun, when i would have to call for help to get home from grocery shopping. My friend suggested buying a new battery with more cranking power, which i did. Now, the outback is working fine. Will it last??? Then when contacting subaru of america to see if i could get some reimbursement for the battery, the representative told me there was a recall on my outback due to fuel pump problems. I have not received a notification. |
