I own a 2015 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited which my wife and I love. However a few weeks ago I got in it in the garage and tried to start it. It tried to start but did not and it acted like the battery was low. I measured the battery voltage (being an old retired electrical engineer) and the voltage was only about 5.9 volts. I put a charger on it and told my wife maybe something in the computer system got hit by a stray cosmic ray and it locked the starter on and ran the battery down. After charging up the battery the car seemed fine. I took it to the local Advance Auto to buy a new battery suspecting the battery was giving out and they put their tester on it and said it really was pretty good so no need to replace it. Since then it has been running fine. I was thinking about replacing the car since I could imagine all kinds of problems if it had failed somewhere other than my garage where I could work on it. Anyway I'm sad to see the Legacy was excluded from the lawsuit since it certainly sounds like I was hit by the CAN problem. Has anyone had Subaru fix theirs with the CAN problem? Is there anybody I can ask to learn more about it - Subaru Customer Service somewhere?
