I've had my 2015 Outback for 3 years now (2020 now) I have had to replace the battery every year. The first year I believed it was time for a new battery, within 6 months my car died while I was driving into a parking lot. The entire electrical system shut down and I had to manually move it. My mechanic took apart my engine and discovered loose seals that had allowed many parts to rust over including broken brackets and a torque converter. Warranty won't cover any rust but did cover the $84 broken seal. I spent close to $3,000 on repairs and a new battery then. I was initially quoted from the dealership $6K. It has been 11 months and I left my car alone for 3 days and the battery is completely dead once again.

Many times the lights, one at a time, over the mirror, will turn on and be hot to the touch when I get into the car after being out of car for hours or over night.the liftgate is a recurring problem, as are the lights.also, the bluetooth tells me I am calling myself frequently.electrical problems?? once the liftgate opened while the car was in motion.
