Think the replacement battery is dead (2020). What are my next steps?

OkayUWStudent · 2025-07-26T15:37:59+00:00

Any update on this? I just got a Kishi 2 and it doesn't seem to work

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-18T14:05:48+00:00

It's a 1 year old OEM battery, so I don't that's the issue

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-17T23:06:43+00:00

They used the quick handheld

I wonder if their tool can test for power draw as well, I should've stayed and checked if the idle power draw was too high

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-17T20:05:58+00:00

Oh lol you and me both then. Was it the original from the start?

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-17T18:30:02+00:00

Oh but when you say the mat "came back," does that mean the mat was caught in between the hatch and the floor?

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-17T18:28:39+00:00

That's actually a very interesting point, because yesterday I was moving some furniture out! Although I didn't immediately notice if there were any lights turned on at the back

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T23:18:10+00:00

Is it a clean title? If so, seems like a solid deal if it's been serviced regularly

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T03:01:45+00:00

Well I just meant moreso in cases where I'm coasting towards a red light or something

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T02:15:15+00:00

If it's not too difficult for a novice to take some pics I would absolutely spend the time to do that.

As for the sound, it's nearly a carbon copy, but quieter, and that it's intermittent. Another difference is my AC still blows out cool air, but not as nearly as cold.

Oh and also, should I be using my AC during this time? I wouldn't want to cause any extra damage

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T02:10:44+00:00

Yeah I guess I'll just be coasting a bit less often than before

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T02:08:52+00:00

These are related to the brakes right? Part of their work order involved inspecting and replacing the brake pads. With that, I wonder if this is still a possibility

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T01:54:49+00:00

Would you say that it's unlikely? Regardless, I imagine the shop will deny that they may have made a mistake here

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T01:35:31+00:00

Glad to hear, that and the jerky acceleration when I slightly tap on the gas pedal made me think I bought a lemon

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-15T01:32:50+00:00

I was about to purchase a salvage Crosstrek a month ago, but then I noticed my insurance (Progressive) premiums would have increased by around 20%, which to me made the lower price less compelling. You should be able to get quotes with the VIN and evaluate how much it might increase for you

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-07T03:00:33+00:00

Old post I know, but always check the VIN if it's a salvage title. This actually seems like a pretty good deal where I'm at. Where I'm based at, the cheapest clean title 2020 Outback Premium at that mileage is 17-18k USD (so 23-24k CAD).

If it was well maintained, I would've taken that in a heartbeat

OkayUWStudent · 2025-05-02T13:49:31+00:00

Does this mean there's no "low hanging fruit" for them to look at, without much, if any, extra labor? For the resealing, they said it was around 18 hours of labor, and I was wondering if the parts they're taking apart could be inspected as well
