Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Volkswagen

Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.

2017 got a new battery in 2023 before winter, didn't have a no start issue but figured it was time. Went with a dealer battery, was only $138ish for the 72ah upgrade and replaced it in their parking lot to get the core charge back.

I had to replace the battery on a 2016 Crosstrek this summer and, in retrospect, missed a bunch of warning signs before it finally wouldn’t start: slow cranking, occasional extra crank needed, flickering dash lights, and generally dim interior lights.

Update: it was just the battery, everything works fine after replacement and coding/adaptation. No error codes. Thanks everyone

Very unlikely to be the starter, though anything is possible. I'd put money on the battery being weak though. Voltage isn't the end all be all, you need to know about the cranking amps.

Battery didn't outright die but it was weaker starting and with winter coming I didn't want to trust it.

2022 ID.4 in Canada. Have had two replaced. Luckily when it happened it was in my driveway for all three times. Hooked up a charger to the 12v for a few hours and it started like nothing was wrong.

I bought my wrx brand new in 2015, the battery lasted two years and was replaced at the dealership. That second battery lasted two years and I went back for them to replace it and said that they wouldn\u2019t because it was already replaced under warranty. She told me they would replace it for something like $160, I said \n\n\u201cLook lady the first battery lasted two years and the second lasted two years, I\u2019m not spending my money on your junk batteries.\u201d

The battery VW uses in the ID.4 is trash. I had it replaced under warranty in my 2021 after about 2 years when my car died in the garage and I had to get assistance. The tow truck driver got it going with a jump starter. It\u2019s now just out of warranty in year 4 and I get the \u201cLow 12V\u201d warning on cold days.

21 Outback. Battery issues - I’m on my fourth battery since buying it. Have had issues with door seals leaking, but those were fixed easily under warranty. Definitely can confirm the assembly quality - we had to test drive quite a few before getting one that didn’t rattle on every bump we hit.
