2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD

20000 mi Intermittent AC not blowing cold air. Looks like my AC issue is related to a known defect with some compressors within a certain date range. This was noted under TSB-10-84-16; dealer had me get s/n of compressor to confirm that it falls within the range. Compressor ordered and will bring in car for replacement. Intermittent starter issues which eventually lead to dead battery. Dealer ran battery diagnostics and identified it as faulty, and replaced under warranty 
27000 mi Battery fell below standards; would not start until charged; battery replaced under warranty. 
31000 mi OEM battery failing, not enough CCA to start the engine. Replaced the battery with higher CCA by dealer. 
18000 mi AC blowing warm air. Needed to be recharged. Still blowing warm air. 
23300 mi Finally TSB issued for faulty a/c compressor. Bluetooth still not working half the time. No software update. Dealer was to replace unit but probably still won't work. Bought aftermarket radio. 
24700 mi Car wouldn't start. Told me oil dirty so won't start. Oh by the way got you new battery.
