My car also died. The interesting question from Subaru was why I had not called for roadside assistance? Either case, I had a dead battery, Bought a new Optima battery [which I like], and then went to the dealership. They heard my story, updated the ECM, and refunded the majority of the cost of the Optima. The battery may not be bad but the ECM might need to update.

Go to your local Subaru Dealer and ask if you need the "Battery Enhanced ECM Update". I just had this performed two weeks ago. It's not a recall but the dealership should be aware of the issue. Cheers
