I have recently been
I have recently been experiencing a battery drain issue on my 2019 Subaru Outback, which just passed 36k miles. I brought this into Subaru dealer after my local mechanic was unable to diagnose the issue and suggested it may be a warranty issue. Subaru dealer ran a series of tests, recharged the battery, installed updates, but could not guarantee that it would continue. They did find that because I did not renew the Starlink subscription and when the car was idle for a few to several days, the Starlink system continued searching in the background for updates, etc., and would draw on the battery thus causing the vehicle to not start. This was most recently occurring intermittently. I am concerned since I had never had this issue for the 4.5 years I've owned the vehicle and purchased a Subaru for its reliability. The dealer had noticed over the last couple of weeks that at least 3 other customers had experienced this as well with their 2019/2020 Subaru model vehicles. The dealer did suggest, albeit not happily, that perhaps I should renew the Starlink subscription ($99/year) so the vehicle can perform the necessary updates. The dealer in no way suggested that this was the solution and directed me to call the Customer Advocacy number to seek some remediation for this issue. It seems these things always happen to occur when something just falls out of the warranty period. I am interested in any information you can provide and to be notified of participation in any class action lawsuit.
