My Subaru adventure continues. Those that know me, are well aware of the first 2006 Subaru Outback I had which was a piece of sh*t! Long story short, I got a replacement 2007 Subaru that I really do love. Until today...
‘Blackie’ as I like to call him, wouldn’t start yesterday. It was very strange that my car was working fine and then, one hour later, it just wouldn’t start. So, I called roadside assistance today and someone came out and jump started it. Called Subaru and took the car in for them to check it out.
Turns out the battery was leaking acid and, of course, the warranty on the battery ran out at 36k miles. Lucky for me, I’m at 37k miles. Good heavens.
To calm my pissy attitude, the dealer is only charging me for the battery and none of the labor or other parts that got corroded by the battery acid. I guess that’s a nice gesture and I do thank them for that.
