I inherited my fathers 2017
I inherited my fathers 2017 Subaru Outback Touring. I experienced my first "dead" battery issue at about 12,000 miles. It had 4080 miles on it when inherited. Then three separate instances occurred over the nest three years. I was told by my mechanic that the issue was there was not enough amperage with the batteries they were using and the alternator/battery connection. After the last dead battery, I was rear ended for the second time in July of 2020. After the body work was fixed, and very good I might add, it was time to get rid of this train wreck of reliability. I sold the car to Carmax in April of 2021 during this past years up swing in used car prices. I laugh at the current Subaru commercial where they attest to a Best in Reliability for 2019, by J.D. Power, is a complete JOKE. I worked for a Honda dealership in Florence, SC, from 2012-14. The only one-figure it out your self, and saw first hand had how deceptive auto dealerships can be. Selling flooded cars, Certifying vehicles that should never be certified based on certification criteria and generally misleading customers by using smooth road for test drives instead of letting them go their own way. We had several models that were noisier than the competition and were harassed by the sales manager if we let them "take off" on one of those roads. So glad I left that sneaky, at best, profession. If you can call it that. Any questions: Email above!
