My 2018 Outback’s battery dies in less than 6 hours when the tailgate is open and all lights off. Apparently the motor draws about 10 amp hours with the tailgate open.
As I show dogs, I often need to leave the tailgate open for extended periods of time.
Two concerns-1. Where does the heat from the lift gate motor go? 2. How can I work around the problem? I certainly will not be getting another Subaru unless this major problem is fixed.
