I own a 2016 Outback. I had my battery replaced on an emergency basis when it failed in a parking lot on my way to an airport and it would not jump. I did not know of the issues with the Subaru battery at the time. When I was at the dealer a few days later they did not tell me of the problem and they did no testing after I told them of the emergency battery replacement 3 days earlier. I filed a claim and they denied it. I appealed the denial because I had no notice from Subaru and it was an emergency. They have summarily denied the appealed claim saying "The claimed repair was not completed by an authorized Subaru retailer and you did not contact Subaru within 10 days preceding the repair." Between the battery and 2x repairing "Subaru glass" broken windshields I don't have confidence in their product. Only the attorneys have benefitted from this settlement.
