Hi I am having an issue with my 2016 Subaru Outback. It started a couple of months ago. When I am driving, my battery light will, turn on, my lane assist and adaptive cruise control will be turned off, and the volume will stop working on my infotainment system. It happens the majority of the...

Happened upon this when I was looking at some new models. Anyone purchase and use this? Curious as to reading the instruction manual but the websites don’t seem to list them.

Hello Everyone! This is my first car it is a Subaru outback 2011 and I noticed all these lights were on at the same time out of nowhere. The car ran fine on my way home and it is barely used 3-5 times a week. The battery MPG (i don’t know what this is) is also all the way at 0. Does anyone...

Hello folks. I just replaced the battery on a 2018 Outback 3.6R Limited. Electronics were working when I got in the car. When I went to start it, the tachometer and speedometer went to their max and then everything died. After doing some searches and tried leaving battery unhooked for > 10...

Hi, I have a 2015 with a camping setup and I would like to do more camping/overlanding. But I always have the same problem when I go camping. If I don't drive the car more than a day (camping of course) the battery dies. I have to boost the battery every time. After a busy summer of camping I...

I've been having some very irritating and persistent battery issues with my '22 OBW. The original EFB battery died within the first 7 months of owning the car. Here in Canada Subaru has replacement AGM batteries that are slightly higher spec'd than stock. That's what they replaced the...

2016 3.6 owner. We all know the issues with batteries and the constant drain, but on top of that I live in Wisconsin and every winter I have problems with starting my car. My current battery has something like 800 cca but with the constant slow drain it doesn’t help. Especially if it’s -30. Is...

Hopped in my car to grab a coffee on my break, and when I turned the key to START the electrical completely cut out. It may have ticked a time or two, but immediately lost all power. Had a friend boost me as I assumed it was my dated battery, and that made no changes. Bought a new battery and...

Hello Outback friends, I've searched the site for relevant posts and although I found posts relative to the DTCs I'm seeing, I've seen nothing to my specific question. Please accept my apologies if I missed something. I'm new to this site. We purchased a 2006 Outback XT with 195,000 miles for...

The class action on the 2020 outback battery issue refers to a reflash that will be done by the dealer but the dealer I brought it to has no idea what that means or how to do it. Does anyone have any specific information on what the reflash is for the battery drain issue?

Hey, posting about a weird issue I’ve been having with my Outback. Upon starting the car, the lights and everything will come on and immediately shut off. Opening the hood and jiggling the battery around seems to fix the issue. Car starts as normal after starting it 2-3 times and operates fine...

Please HELP, my original alternator went out in January, have bought 3 from O'Reilly, tonight it went out again, brand new battery too, has anyone had the same issue with non OEM alternators or is it my back luck? Thank you, [email protected]

Received this postcard in the mail yesterday. While it provides extended warranties for "qualified battery failures" and some compensation possibilities, it seems to falls far short of getting to root cause fixes (for example, free upgraded PRG modules). And for those of us that upgraded the...

I have a 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5 Premium with 99,500 mile on it. I receive it as Hand me down from my dad 2 years ago so not sure of what maintenance done on it prior to that. Yesterday a bunch of lights came up on my car while I was in stop and go traffic driving out of town to a friends. The...

Hey everyone, I haven't been on these forums in a long while but figured I could use some direction in my particular situation. A few nights ago it was raining down pretty intensely and the next morning I went out to my car to find that the speakers were making a horrible screeching/screaming...

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone knows if an optima red top size 25 will fit a 2018 outback as the battery in mine (an interstate POS) just died! Anyone have experience with this battery in this vehicle. I want to fit am optima because i live in Dallas so the weather can go from extremes here...

Well, it happened again. Had to replace the battery in my 2018 3.6R Touring this morning. Luckily(?) Advance Auto where I bought the previous replacement had one in stock and honored their guarantee and took care of it quickly. WTF is going on with these batteries? The OEM battery died while it...

Hey, so I recently installed a couple amps in my 2021 outback. A year ago I added an 800 watt mono amp with a 12 in sub in the back. The amp pulled from the wiring running to the rear speakers. That worked great and caused no issues. I later replaced both pairs of the door speakers with kickers...

My 2020 Outback Touring XT has been having battery issues, car often needs a jump. Dealer replaced battery and a few months later same problem. Dealer states they have not seen this problem, and sees no draw on battery. Anyone else experience this, is it a known issue.
