Typically, maintenance free-lead acid batteries will last 3-4 years in Florida. The heat seems to be an issue. AGM batteries will typically last longer. I have had an AGM battery located in the trunk last 10 years.

Why is the battery in a 2022 Subaru no good? Its only 3 years old. I could see it being dead, perhaps from sitting a long time. But you should be able to jump it or put a trickle charger on it, at least enough to get the car running. Something is odd.
