If a dead battery kept you from taking your Outback anywhere ”maybe“ you should take up another hobby. you can always “Overland“ that e350 at the mall or the golf course. ?
No. It just dies with no warning. It's beyond a dead battery. Like drive to the store, come out, car dead. Not sure I have any control over that. The whole system is buggered. Windows won't open, tailgate ect.
There is a class action lawsuit underway in the USA.
Just to clarify, fixing it was not as simple as charging the battery. It had to be towed to the dealership for them to perform whatever magic they do to the system.
The security system engages sometimes, and none of the procedures listed work. Must be towed.
