Glad to see this issue
Glad to see this issue getting some attention, but there is an error in the article. It is not a cargo light draining the battery. It is apparently a sensor in the power lift gate that never times out. This would be the sensor that reverses the lift gate if something gets caught in it when it is closing. Clearly something that only needs to be active when the power gate has been activated. The battery drains even if a clip is used in the latch to trick the car into thinking the gate is closed. Seems like a simple programming glitch so it is disappointing when Subaru insists that it was designed this way on purpose.
