Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED OUR 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK BRAND NEW. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 1.5 YEARS INTO THE PURCHASE. WE HAVE APPROX 8,800 MILES ON IT AND NOW EVERY TIME WE GO TO DRIVE IT, THE BATTERY IS DEAD. DEALER HAS TESTED THE BATTERY TWICE AND SAYS IT IS FINE AND THAT WE NEED TO KEEP THE CAR PLUGGED IN TO A BATTERY TENDER. EVEN THOUGH WE DRIVE IT A FEW TIMES A WEEK, INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY.
