Description of the problem | This is a 2017 forrester. The battery keeps repeatedly dying. For example: had to jump in last night, drove it for 45 minutes to ensure it should be charged back up. It was in our garage last night - and today, it won't start and we can't jump it either. Awaiting a tow truck. This battery has required a jump at least 5 times in the last six months. And there is nothing wrong with the battery. Talking to multiple subaru owners reveals this is a common issue - one subaru 'solves' by putting in a new battery (at my cost) and then it will die too. |
