Greetings all
I drive an aged Cherokee Sport and my wife has a 2016 Subaru Impreza with 50k mileage. The Subaru's battery goes flat in minutes with the engine off and the radio or any accessory on. Same for an ignition off/on/off sequence in a parking lot. We live in a semi-rural area so any drive keeps the battery fully charged up. But the local Subaru dealer's svce manager says, 'Yeah, that's a design flaw' and won't bother to check the alternator or voltage regulator as long as the battery is good. Still I think this problem is only six months old. Does anyone have an opinion. All thoughts gratefully received. Thanks, Kap

 

Good lord, find another dealer! Looks like you're not the only one either: https://www.impreza5.com/forum/138-5...ont-start.html

As a five-time and current Subaru owner, this is rather disappointing for such a new car. You could buy your wife an 05-09 Outback with a flat six!
