My battery keep draining all the time since I bought the car I have changed 3 of them. Two of the battery were still okay but I still changed them. Also, all the warning lights on the dashboard keep on and off without the check engine light. I brought the car to the dealer and they fixed the brake switch recall and I also mention the problem to them but they could not find anything wrong with the car. Few days later, I brought the car back to the dealer because the warning lights were on and off on the dashboard. They diagnosed the car and said the car need to replace the valve body transmission which I doubt that my car has problem with the transmission. I also have done some research and a lot of people who own the Subaru have that same issue. I personally used to own the Subaru brz and that car also has the problem with the battery and the dealer just replaced it for me.

While driving the car at 70 mph on a freeway it suddenly veered to the right. Quick action on my part kept the car from running off the road onto the shoulder. I took the car to the local Subaru dealer at the first available appointment. They inspected the car and found the on-board computer showed an indication of a steering angle sensor fault. They kept the car overnight and road tested it but because they could to duplicate the problem they made no repairs to the vehicle. At a minimum, I feel they should have replaced the steering angle sensor and asked them to do so and they refused. I consider this car unsafe to drive.
