problem #1

Jan 152018

Outback Premium 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 9,350 miles

The sound I heard several time ( 4 or 5 times in the last 4 months) is exactly like the sound in the YouTube video I provide the link at https://youtu.be/9n2Ccb8sYfg but mine is much shorter than 20 seconds.

So far, it happened at least 4 times. My car is 15 months old in 8 more days. So, I am worried and talked to the service at the dealer I take my car to. I hope they can duplicate the sound after I realized last night and searched fir it on YouTube. I planning to take it to the dealer. I can't help but wonder if this issue is related to the issue of the battery leaking which was found when the diagnostic test was run after I complained about the car not starting (the electrical ignition) which at one point, I thought that I would need to tow the car.

BTW, the leaking battery was replaced. I was not satisfied with the explanation of the cause.
