2020 Subaru Outback

I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY THREE MONTHS, AND THE ENGINE HAS FAILED TO START >5 TIMES, WHILE STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD TO GET SEVERAL JUMP STARTS, AND THE BATTERY WILL RUN AGAIN FOR A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS BEFORE SEEMING TO DIE AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTOSHOP AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY SEEMED FINE TO THEM, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE FAILURES WITH STARTING THE ENGINE. I HAVE HAD SAFETY FEATURES DYSFUNCTION WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND ONE OF THEM LED TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED A FEW TIMES, AND LOST HOURS FROM MY JOB.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2020 SUBARU OUTBACK FOR ONLY 2 MONTHS. MY CAR WILL NOW NOT START. AFTER JUMPING THE VEHICLE/ CHARGING THE BATTERY, IT WILL START AGAIN AND THEN SHUT BACK OFF. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT IS CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DRAIN VERY RAPIDLY. CHANGING THE BATTERY DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FIXING THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION. SUBARU HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH OUTBACKS AND ASCENTS FROM 2017 TO 2020 AND NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL.

I HAVE LESS THAN 100 MILES ON MY 2020 SUBARU OUTBACK AND AM HAVING SERIOUS BATTERY ISSUES. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE ON A FRIDAY AND THEN WENT TO START IT ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I CALLED OUT THE SUBARU STARLINK ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET THE BATTERY JUMP-STARTED, WHICH THEY DID AND I LET THE CAR RUN FOR AN ADDITIONAL TEN OR SO MINUTES TO HELP IT TO CONTINUE RECHARGING. THAT EVENING I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE TO PARK IN THE GARAGE FOR THE EVENING AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD, AGAIN. I NEED TO GET THE BATTERY RESTARTED, AGAIN, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE HAPPENING (CHRONIC). DO I TAKE IT 50 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, ONLY TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT BATTERY DO THE SAME THING? OR DO I REPLACE THE BATTERY WITH ANOTHER VENDOR?

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH THE WINDSCREEN CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AN OBJECT DID NOT HIT THE WINDSCREEN. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE WINDSCREEN AT SAFELITE WITH AN OEM SUBARU WINDSCREEN AND RECALIBRATED THE ADVANCED DRIVER SAFETY SYSTEM COSTING MORE THAN $1,000. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF FAULTS IN SUBARU OUTBACK 2020 WINDSCREENS WITH A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I WANT TO REPORT MY EXPERIENCE

I PURCHASED MY 2020 SUBARU OUTBACK YESTERDAY, 8/24/2020, FROM MAITA SUBARU IN SACRAMENTO CA. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY LATER THAT AFTERNOON, AN VERY SMALL OBJECT FLEW UP FROM THE ROAD CRACK THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK HAS GROWN ABOUT 2X IN SIZE IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND THE REPAIR BILL IS ESTIMATED TO BE $880. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR.
