Arlene your car sounds just
Arlene your car sounds just like mine. I will tell you that I was ready to invoke the Lemon Law this winter. They knew I had the records and they knew how often I was getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with a Forester that would not start. They kept it a week this time and put yet another new battery in. They mentioned something about a recall on the car radio was perhaps the problem providing a constant drain. I do not know if that trivial detail was correct but so far I have gone two full months without the car dying. I'm sure the radio recall update did not fix such a serious problem but I'm secretly hoping maybe it did. So if you have not had your radio software package updated maybe that will help? It's inexcusable that so many owners are having this problem. There's clearly something very wrong with many of the Subarus.
