The data reporting .odule is actually trying to connect to a Gen-3 tower which are no longer in service. Subaru was aware in 2018 that Gen-3 was going to be shutdown soon. Because the module in the system can't find a tower, it repeatedly ping for it FOREVER, thus running down the battery. The battery will stay charged if the car is driven every day for 4-6 hours. If it'd parked overnight, it still :HUNTS" for that non existent tower and depletes the battery. If you pull the 7.5 Amp fuse in the fuse box. It disables that chip that HUNTS for the tower. It also causes other malfunctions, some of which are safety related. The Bluetooth speakers no longer works. The GPS system wo t work, and the automatic braking fails . Subaru KNEW this was an issue and still co tinued to sell the cars as if everything was fine. Now the dealer informs me they can "FIX" the problem for $1100. Hello NTSB, ANYONE LISTENING???
