Asked by Guru6WHSS Mar 14, 2020 at 08:47 AM about the 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5i Premium

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2015 outback. About every 14 months I have to replace the battery. The first 2 times dealer said it is just a batch of bad batteries. Now i am replacing it for the 3rd time. Its under battery warrenty but it is becoming a worry.

The standard battery is too small. I suggest installing a larger (more amps) battery such as Optima or Interstate. Since I replaced my too small Forester battery I have not had a problem.

Hello - I have a question for all the Subaru experts if you could please. I was planning to buy a 2011 Outback tonight, 95K miles. What I found out today is making me question the investment. After reading about the CVT issues, I started digging and confirmed that this Outback did have an issue just a few months ago and SOA confirmed the CVT in this vehicle has a 24K or 24 month warranty since it was replaced with a remanufactered (NOT REBUILD) CVT under warranty. So, should I buy it and have peace of mind that the CVT issues have been addressed and maybe I'll get 100k miles out of it or walk away? Can't afford a new one, so was looking for exactly this price range - I think I should happy at this news since the known CVT problems have been addressed but could I be getting into a money pit. Thanks for any helpful feedback! 1 Answer
