I've had 3 jump starts in 10 days. 2020 Outback. Less than 8,000 miles. Drove 100 miles and the next morning battery was too low to start the engine. I did have the hatch open by itself on one occasion and when the battery is low, I hear the rear hatch making a noise like it's closing (as if it hadn't been closed completely beforehand). On first occurrence, the battery was completely drained and I had to be towed. I was told I had left the hatch light on (but I had never touched it). Have made sure all lights are off since then. AAA tested the battery and said it was defective. Going into dealership on Monday and let's see what excuse I get this time. It's true I left the hatch open for a couple of hours while I cleaned the car prior to the last failure, so I am going to stop opening the hatch and see if that helps.
