WITHIN ONE YEAR OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK I HAVE HAD TO JUMPSTART IT SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THESE BATTERIES THAT THEY HAVE A BAD CELL IN THEM. SO THEY SAID THEY WILL GET ME A NEWER AND BETTER BATTERY, WELL ALMOST ONE MONTH LATER I NOTICED MY CAR'S BATTERY STARTED TO ACT VERY VERY WEAK AND I BELIEVE WITHIN A DAY OR TWO I WILL NEED TO HAVE A JUMPED AGAIN TO GET IT RUNNING WITHIN ONE YEAR OF OWNING MY BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK I HAVE HAD TO JUMPSTART IT SEVERAL TIMES AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THESE BATTERIES THAT THEY HAVE A BAD SELLING THEM SO THEY SAID THEY WILL GET ME A NEWER AND BETTER BATTERY WELL ALMOST ONE MONTH LATER I NOTICED MY CAR'S BATTERY STARTED TO ACT VERY VERY WEAK AND I BELIEVE WITHIN A DAY OR TWO I WILL NEED TO HAVE A JUMPED AGAIN TO GET IT RUNNING.

THIS CAR SPENDS MOST OF THE WEEK IN A GARAGE AND IT IS REALLY ONLY DRIVEN ON THE WEEKENDS BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE IT JUMPED FOR ONLY SITTING A FEW DAYS IN THE GARAGE. *TR
