I still have the 2016…
I still have the 2016 Outback that used to have the junk battery (I called it a riding mower battery !), and that had the Delay-Recharging-Battery-for-30Miles-Or-30Minutes-WhichEver-Came-Last-Computer-Controling-Software. I am a retired Electrical Engineer and I FIXED the Subaru Design with my own Design Changes, and I made the “Mistake” of telling Subaru Outback Forum Administrators exactly what I did !
RESULT: They had me BANNED FOR LIFE from not only accessing any Outback Forums, BUT their criminal behavior went so far as to BAN MY IP-ADDRESS from having Internet Access to ANY SUBARU OUTBACK FORUM, including access to the Subaru results of the Lawsuit: I can not read it !
In addition, I also can NOT access any Subaru Outback Forum internet info for on-going Maintenance Problems or Solutions to Drivability issues for the Outback that I still own and drive !
This is Criminal behavior, and it is a level of Cowardice that I have NEVER EVER SEEN BEFORE BY AN AMERICAN COMPANY ! Upon checking the fine print, I discovered it is actually a cowardly CANADIAN corporation that has control of these Subaru Forums ....... !!!!
