NHTSA Complaint #11352919 — 2018 SUBARU OUTBACK

PURCHASED THIS CAR IN FEB 2018. DESPITE THE PANDEMIC OF 2020, MILEAGE IS SOMEWHAT SIMILAR, DRIVING TRIPS ARE SIMILAR SINCE GETTING THE CAR. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DYING OVER AND OVER SINCE EARLIER THIS YEAR (FEB/MARCH 2020) FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ON MANY OCCASIONS, AFTER SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR A FEW DAYS, A WEEK, A DAY - THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. BROUGHT IT TO SUBARU AND THEY TOLD ME SOME CRAP ABOUT NOT DRIVING IT FOR PERIODS OF TIME COULD CAUSE THIS (A WEEK?!). THEY TESTED MY BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS BETTER THAN PERFECT. NOW IT'S GOING BACK IN TO THEM BECAUSE IT IS STILL HAPPENING AND NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING IT'S DUE TO LOW MILEAGE. THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN THEY ARE LEADING ON AND ARE BLAMING THE VEHICLE OWNERS' DRIVING HABITS INSTEAD OF GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
