They didn't do a tire rotation, but I believe they did pull the tires off to check the brakes.

2017 Legacy Sport. After oil change at dealer odometer (not the individual trip odometer) started to register incorrectly. Mileage at oil change 38972. Mileage 1and 1/2 weeks later, after after trips totaling of more than 300 miles, shows 39098. as total mileage. Anyone know what can be the cause? How to correct ?

Hi, More electrical issues ! 2017 Legacy , 18,000 miles. BSD disabled indicator light went on, with an "i" in a lit box on the screen, refer to owner's manual message as well. RAB disabled light on also when we go in reverse. Went through the manual, switched things on and off, toggled the steering wheel controls - no help.Any ideas before I take the car back to the dealer?

Hi Death, I had a2011 Legacy. Had the original battery for more than 6 years. Only changed it because I figured it was time. I never had a problem with it. That's part of the reason I am so vexed over the problem with this one.

Appreciate the info from all. jMeG, the situation I refer to was a car sitting 3 days, with a battery replaced Oct. 30, 2019. By the way that was the second time the battery went dead. It was not exceedingly cold for the three days the car was sitting this time or the last time. I have another Subaru that has sat, unstarted, for considerably more time in similar weather and I never had the problem.

Key fobs are a good distance from the car. No additional accessories. I figured there was some sort of draw on the battery even when the car is off. I told the "service advisor" I suspected parasitic draw. He didn't even respond. I'm not sure he knew the term.I am aware that it is time consuming for a tech to check for that so he would probably want to avoid that.

The dealer called the battery a sealed battery yet it has removable vents on top (for refill?). I have had so called sealed batteries on other cars that were smooth on top, no removable vents. Is this only semantics ? Anyway, it took 1 1/2 hours to recharge the battery , and the cca read 518 at the finish.

Hi Subaru Legacy 2017 4 cyl. has most of the electric "bells and whistles". Bought with 5000 miles on it. August 2019 car won't start, battery is low on fluid. Add distilled water & neighbor boost. OK. Oct. 2019 car is so dead electric door locks won't work. Dealer holds car for 2 days - gives us a new battery. Yesterday, again, car is so dead electric door locks won't work. Voltmeter reads 2.5 volts, low fluid. Get a boost and the voltmeter reads 13 plus so alternator seems ok. Car is driven every day - highway for 20 or so miles. Every second week trip to friends house 70 miles away. The dealer can't give us an answer of why the failures. Headlights are off, trunk and cabin lights are off when car is shut. Anyone have a similar issue? Any ideas ? .
