Car won't turn over

tiasonin

Car will not start. Back in Oct 2015 same problem. Checked and replaced fuses, jumped it and it started. A day later, same problem. Mechanic said battery was dead and alternator was good, new battery installed. Then it would not start again, mechanic said it was alternator. replaced and it has ran fine up until now. July 2016...car does not start. Jumped it and it runs, but after sits a while does not start. Replaced battery because mechanic says it could be problem, but they alternator is fine. Car sat over night, does not start again. Jumped it and it ran, but this morning is dead again.

Ideas?

The most likely cause is a parasitic drain.

Did you ever hear what was wrong? My 2015 Outback with 30K miles is doing the same as yours. I have had it towed, fully examined at dealership and everyone says I must have left a light on or a door open. No, no--I never do. They say the battery is fine. Same with the starter and alternator. Very nerve-wracking to not trust your car....
