SAME ISSUES.....QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY...GOOD LUCK AND GO AFTER EM !!

My 2016 Subaru Outback is now on the third new battery.

Wish I'd known about this class action suit. My 2015 Outback battery has been replaced twice, my car has been towed, I've had to be jumped more times than I care to remember and I've had to buy something that lets me jump the car myself (if I remember to keep it charged) When I took it in, dealership said the battery was draining because I kept the car keys too close to the door!!!!

2014 Impreza has suddenly had battery drain issues. Two battery purchases (high quality brands this year), yet do not stay charged longer than a week of non use. Now connected to a "continual charge" adapter.

I have replaced the battery 3 times in my 2017 Subaru forester. And the battery now is about 6 months old and I'm already noticing a drag when I try to start it

I bought a 2016 forester less than a year ago. I’ve replaced the batter twice already. How do I get my name in the lawsuit?

We have a 2020 accent and have to start the car every other day and let it run to keep the battery charged.We are retired and don't need to drive everyday

I have a 2017 Subaru Outback, I kept noticing different things going on then one day battery was totally dead. I did not know about the lawsuit.

I have a 2019 Subaru outback, I done had to jump it of cause of the battery, this makes no sense. Please help.

I have the same problem with my Crosstrek.

I bought three batteries for my 2018 Subaru Forester and was forced to run heaters in my garage year round and pay roadside services several times. Just last week, with early summer heat at 82 degrees, my car died again in a grocery parking lot. This in spite of buying very expensive upgraded batteries at the advice of car mechanics who made me aware of this Infamous Subaru mattter. This article mentions some lawyers who are involved in this lawsuit but their site notes they are NO LONGER taking any contact information. After being stranded due to so many dead battery events and left for hours living, as I do, in a remote mountain location, I finally traded in this 2018 Subaru Forester. I am a single elderly woman and, as a doctor often would have to head out at odd hours. You can imagine how frightening it could be if the car idlers low and could not start up before I could reach my destination. At times I had to trudge miles through dark and snow to achieve cell connection only to be told I could get a jump start only the next day. Subaru seemed indifferent to the hazards of freezing cold, blizzards, animals, or the risk of those with ill intent coming upon me. I incurred a high cost with monetary and emotional. I found the lower level Subaru workers to be ethical and caring; they would admit the problems and express concern. One even sent a check to cover one of my many 200 dollar jumpstarts. It was the executive Subaru management who completly stonewalled this matter. I just can’t find a way to join this lawsuit and thus am reaching out. Thanks for any updated contact info anyone could provide. When a 64 year old woman must sleep in a freezing car stuck in 3 feet of snow multiple times and be dismissed even whilst buying batteries over and again- told it is not a “Subaru matter” this is a malignant lack of concern. We need to treat each other as we wish for ourselves and our best beloveds. That is the standard I use as a physician. We are all in a community that should care. It is not acceptable, I am sure that a rich Subaru executive would accept his wife dying in the dark and cold for lack of honesty, diligence, or care. Why then was MY life so disposable that I should lay huddled for lack of truth and solution? I was doing my utmost for those who needed me and my grief was that sometimes I was trapped in a dead car instead of tending to another human who needed doctoring. The Subaru executives who dismissed my inquiries also harmed my patients who I could not reach for want of a reliable car. Again, I honor the local Subaru employees; I condemn, deeply the top of the organization- those who found are lives cheap; who found my patients lives cheap, who lacked the humanity to understand compassion requires honesty over money. They would never care to hear this message. It is wasted on people such as them. They value what they should not and they discard what makes us rich in ways they can never see or hold. Good luck and my deepest sympathies to all here who have suffered in any way. We are together in this. Treat someone well and know that, in doing so, you prove you have learned a lesson more valuable than money could ever teach. MBL MD

I'm retired too. I was stuck on a cold night thankfully my son came and helped me. I couldve called roadside asst. though.

Please help my 2016 outback, The battery totally dead, Since I brought at first year first month.

Bad & dead battery!!!!!

I own a 2019 Forester Limited and just had to get a new battery. The dealership said it was defective and would be replaced free of charge.

I recently went through an ordeal with my 2017 Subaru Forester..it left me stranded TWiCE..I take care of 2 small children and this was a scary situation..the car did not start after returning to my car ..I called the dealership which finally let me talk with the Service manager..at first he was not cooperating AT ALL..I had to get very forceful with him and threatened legal action..the car ended up at the dealership but the repair ended op costing me 890 dollars...I had previously spent 500 dollars on the ignition issue where I couldn't get the key out of the ignition..when I reported it I was told by a sales man at the dealership ," yes that's a Subaru Forester thing"..but nevertheless they charged me to replace the defective part. I reported it to the consumer protection dept but never got a call back. I have owned 3 Subarus Forrester's but I'm so disgusted with their lack of response to my needs that I'm looking at other Brands of cars for my new needed car..Very disappointed..Subaru Clear Lake in Houston Texas

Had the same issue with my 2018 Forrester. After 3rd battery and my persistence to fix the problem they installed a new radio which has taken care of the issue.
