2020 Subaru Ascent Complaint Log

While parked, for no reason, the battery discharged to the point the car would not start and I could not open the tail gate. The car had been driven for 2 hours the day before. The car was parked at a campground with the tail gate open for a few hours but the other doors were not open. In the evening I closed the tail gate. The next morning about 10:00 am I tried to drive off and the battery was dead and other electronic devises would not work (door locks, electric tailgate etc.) This could have been very serious as I had a hard time locating help to jump start the car. If I had needed to drive for an emergency as if my wife had a medical issue the car's malfunction would have been very serious! This problem has been reported on the internet for Subaru Ascents and I feel it is a safety defect and Subaru should be required to fix it. I do not trust this car. It is a 2020 Ascent with about 10,000 miles.

When I arrived at work I noticed a 4 inch crack at the bottom left corner of my windshield. I had not noticed any rock hitting my windshield. By the time I got out of work, the crack had expanded to about 8 or 10 inches and continued to expand to over 1 foot. This has never happend to me in the 35 years I've been driving and not to any of the many cars I've owned. I filed a claim with my insurance and plan to have the windshield replaced this week. However, I happened to do a Google Search about Subaru Ascent cracked windshields and noticed the recall of other Subaru models. Additionally, on the Subaru forums, there have been many others writing of the similar experience of an unexplained crack in the windshield of their Subaru Ascent.

As we were driving, a vehicle passed us going the other way and suddenly something hit our windshield and damaged it. I am reporting this because the cracks from this unusual incident are rather large in comparison to other windshield chips I have seen on previous cars.

I was almost in two accidents. Back on July 26,2021 I reported to the dealer that the car almost stalled twice, when I am coming to a yield or slowing down and then you accelerate The car has no power. You have to try to pull over before you get hit from behind. Then you step on the gas and it goes again (it does not completely stall) I did not know of any recall on the car but in the October issue of consumers reports it said they have a problem with the fuel pump It sounded like my same problem. I went back to the dealer on 10/14/2021 they went with me for a road test of course it did not happen. They said they cant do anything because my vin no. is not on recall. They can not find anything wrong with the car. Also, I feel the car hesitates when you step on the gas. They say no its normal. recall No 21v58700 7/28/2021 -- subaru recall no WRG-21

Battery on 2020 Subaru Ascent with 4000 miles has drained in a short time ( a week) twice. Left my wife and I stranded in Utah mountains in winter. Found someone who jumped it for us. Thought it was a one time issue. Just occurred again after 9 days of not driving it. Had to call the Subaru assistance line to get help. Functioning again after the jump. We are in our 70"s and this issue could leave us or anyone else in a bad situation if help is not close by.

We purchased our 2020 Subaru Accent on 8/9/2020. On 6/9/2021, our family took a day trip to Petaluma and stopped at a park to let our toddlers play. When we returned to our vehicle in the parking lot, the ignition would not turn on the vehicle. AAA Roadside Assistance was called to the scene and the technician found no issues with the battery. He was able to get our car to start, but only by randomly placing the shift to Neutral, then turning on the ignition. We were advised to bring our vehicle in for repair, brining the car to the dealership of original purchase at Elk Grove Subaru. Following diagnostics, they stated there was an issue with the shifter, identifying "fluid leakage" and it was cleaned out. Although we have a new car warranty, they charged us for the labor out of the warranty, citing “customer at fault” claiming fluid leakage caused the issue from a spilled beverage. We do not recall any beverage being spilled in our vehicle near that area. On 7/21/21, the same issue for a second time with the ignition not turning on happened once again. My husband and I were stranded in summer heat with my 2 year old son, my 1 year old daughter, and I was 30 weeks pregnant at that time. A THIRD occurrence, same issues, on 8/14/21. Our car is barely a year old. Subaru replaced the entire shifter this time, and so far no recurring issues. I thought of safety concerns if this was to happen to someone else, perhaps stranded on a busy road susceptible to oncoming traffic, or a secluded area that would pose risk of serious safety issues, or perhaps worse. One occurrence is an isolated incident, however three or more points to a significant pattern and worth investigating for a recall of this part. We took to the internet to see if anyone has experienced the same issue with this make and model and we found one video of a couple with an identical experience with the ignition randomly stopping working to start the vehicle. https://youtu.be/g--VICP26hg

My Driver’s side window cracked while sitting in driveway after 7ish pm Saturday night, June 5th, 2021. My car was sitting outside from roughly 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm with windows down and then I put up the windows as I was going to move into the garage. I got out of the car and was side tracked with neighbors for approximately a half hour. I went to move the car into the garage about 7:45 pm and my window was cracked about a foot. It has since spread the length of the window. (see picture attached) I called Subaru as a window should not do this. A Resolution Specialist is suppose to call me back, but who knows when that will happen. I need to get it fixed as it is not safe and I don’t want it to shatter into my lap.

Several months ago a very small chip appeared in our windshield. We do not remember getting hit by anything. Within a couple of days the chip cracked almost half the length of the windshield. We paid over $1000.00 to have windshield replaced. Less than two months later we again saw a small chip in the windshield. My husband tried to fix it before it cracked and while fixing it the chip cracked almost half the length of the windshield. We will now have to pay to fix another windshield due to spontaneous chips that we were not aware of.

MY CAR CONTINUES TO NOT START AFTER PERIODS OF NON USE. 2020 SUBARU ASCENT CANNOT JUMP CAR BATTERY ON OUR OWN.... RATHER WE HAVE TO RELY ON ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEIR BATTERY JUMPING TOOLS. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER 2 TIMES FOR REPAIR FOR THE ISSUE. AND WILL BE NEEDING TO BE SERVICED AGAIN THIS WEEK. FOR THE 1ST REPAIR... CAR WAS UNSTARTABLE AND DISABLED TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO BE TOWED ON A FLAT BED. DEALER REPLACED THE MAIN FUSE BLOWN. I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK CAR WHILE WAITING FOR SERVICE PUTTING INSIDE OF CAR AND CONTENTS AT RISK. WAS WITHOUT CAR FOR A WEEK. FOR THE 2ND REPAIR.... CAR WAS ABLE TO BE JUMPED BY ROADSIDE AND WE DROVE THE CAR FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALER. DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY SAME DAY. A WEEK AGO... I GOT STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT AT CLOSING TIME AT DUSK. NOW... NOW I'M STUCK AT HOME UNABLE TO START VEHICLE.... WITH A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. ROADSIDE HAS JUMPED MY CAR 6 TO 7 TIMES SINCE I STARTED MY LEASE. CAR HAS @2,100 MILES ON IT. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR OTHER OWNERS WHEN GOOGLED AND NO PERMANENT FIX IS BEING OFFERED. THIS MAKES THE CAR UNRELIABLE AND CREATES POTENTIAL FOR UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR ME THE DRIVER AND MY PASSENGERS WHICH INCLUDES YOUTH UNDER THE AGE OF 18. PLUS... THIS IS 10+ INTERACTIONS FOR EXPOSURE TO COVID IN PUBLIC.

The windshield cracked out of no where. I haven't even had the car for a year and barely drive it.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITH NO CAUSE I CAN SEE

2020 SUBARU ASCENT WITH APPROXIMATELY 6,700 MILEAGE. WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE PARKED IN OUTDOOR PARKING LOT. IMMEDIATELY HEARD NOISE AFTER WE GOT IN CAR AND SAW THE CRACK. STARTED MIDWAY AT TOP OF PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD AND PROCEEDED DOWN AND ACROSS 23 1/2 INCHES. NEAR TOP OF CRACK THERE APPEARED TO BE A CHIP SMALLER THAN A SMALL PEA OR PEARL. CRACK HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

The car has issues with rapidly deteriorating brakes. The brakes have been replaced twice and I feel they are bad again. This puts myself, anyone in my car, and any car around me at risk. The dealer is aware of the issue. Car was last inspected with the same concerns in mid-April to which the dealership responded the brakes are "like new". No one else has inspected the vehicle including the police or insurance representative. There was no warning lights related to the issue. I could just feel the brakes grinding. They were first replaced one year after purchasing the vehicle on 4/28/21. They were replaced again on 6/23/22. They feel like they are grinding again.

THE VEHICLE STARTED BEEPING WHILE IT WAS OFF AND SITTING IN THE CARPORT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE BEEPING WAS COMING FROM THE REAR LIFT GATE. WE TRIED TO UNLOCK THE CAR WITH THE FOB, BUT IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK LEADING US TO ASSUME THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. WE USED THE KEY HIDDEN INSIDE THE FOB AND OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. WE WERE ABLE TO JUMP THE CAR OFF AND THE BEEPING STOPPED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INSPECTED THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE BECAUSE THE CURRENT ONE WAS "BAD". OF NOTE, THE BATTERY HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED 2 MONTHS PRIOR DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION THAT REVEALED ANOTHER "BAD" BATTERY. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE OCT 2019 AND THIS IS THE THIRD BATTERY THAT I HAVE HAD IN THE CAR.

AFTER BEING PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR SEVERAL DAYS THE CAR FAILED TO START. UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DEAD. NOTHING HAD BEEN LEFT ON THAT WOULD HAVE DRAINED THE BATTERY, AND HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS ISSUES. MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY, AND THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO FAIL TO HOLD CHARGE. CONTACTED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND SUBARU OF AMERICA. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE BATTERY SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS OF THE ISSUES. TRAVEL TIME TO THE DEALERSHIPS ARE BETWEEN 1 1/2-2 HOURS.

15000 MILES AND BATTERY COMPLETELY DEAD AND LEFT ME STRANDED. VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. HAD TO GET TOWED TO DEALERSHIP

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON - IT WOULD APPEAR THE BATTERY WAS DEAD DESPITE NO REASON FOR IT TO BE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR A WEEK. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP SAID THE BATTERY WAS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS BARELY A YEAR OLD WITH ONLY 11,000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 4/16 AND SOMETHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND CREATED THIS CHIP. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO TURN INTO A LARGE CRACK

MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY

THE BATTERY IN OUR 2020 SUBARU ASCENT DISCHARGED COMPLETELY ON 4/15/21 REQUIRING A JUMP CHARGE. SUBARU TOLD US THAT WITH MODERN VEHICLE ELECTRONICS, THERE IS CONTINOUS ELECTRICAL DRAW EVEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF, THUS FREQUNT DRIVING IS NECESSARY TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. WE DRIVE OUR VEHICLE REGULARLY AND ARE CAREFUL THAT NO ACCESSORIES ARE LEFT ON. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT THE BATTERY DISCHARGED IN OUR GARAGE.

I bought this car brand new from Subaru dealer in Sterling VA. Starting form first week we start having issues with certain parts. (steering, line assist, unexpected breaking, shaky/wobbly brakes, raw fuel smell in the cabin and around the car.) I took the car may times to dealer to get it serviced however every time I was sent back as they couldn't replicate the issue. In one instance, they found some errors on the front brakes and changed it. After that car still having issues with breaking noise and also shakiness when breaking during high speeds. One of my biggest concern is the raw fuel smell coming into the cabin during idle or low speeds. I have to use the internal air circulation to avoid to bring raw smell from engine to cabin. I also noticed raw smell is also noticeable if you park. front of the car, front passenger and driver sides also have that raw fuel smell. Dealer couldn't replicate the smell however I have some of my friends and family members noticed it without having expert knowledge on the issue. I am thinking, Subaru ascents turbo system might be causing the fuel smell. Either its dangerous for fumes in the cabin and/or it is fire hazard eventually. I also think break problems are due to wrong sizing of the break parts for the size of the car. You can easily feel breaks are having difficulty stopping car when going down hill over 50 miles hr... It starts wobbling. Per master tech in my Subaru dealer, this is normal Subaru Ascent behavior and there is nothing wrong. I don't believe that. Attaching all the documentation I have.

18 INCH CRACK IN WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE, HAPPENED SPONTANEOUSLY, NOTHING STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AT ANY TIME.. JUST NOTICED IT TODAY 4/7/21 AT 0930

THE AUDIO DIED TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE ENTIRE CAR DYING COMPLETELY. WE CHARGED THE BATTERY, AND MOST OF THE CAR BEGAN WORKING EXCEPT FOR A FEW RANDOM ELECTRICAL AREAS. SEEMS TO BE A SHORT SOMEWHERE. I HAVE UNDER 10,000 MILES AND A DEAD BATTERY... HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC.

I AM DOING SHORT HAUL DRIVING AND MY BATTERY DRAINS AND EVENTUALLY GOES DEAD. I DO A LONGER DRIVE WHEN I EXPERIENCE SLOW ENGINE TURNOVER WHICH INDICATES A DRAINED BATTERY.

The brakes are insufficient for the weight of the vehicle. This has been recognized by the Dealer who sold the vehicle. Rotors warp quickly. Stopping power of the system is insufficient.

BATTERY GOES DEAD AFTER SITTING A FEW DAYS. IT HAS DIED TWICE IN 2 WEEKS. HAVE TO CARRY A EMERGENCY JUMP SYSTEM DEALER REPLACED BATTERY

THE BATTERY ON MY 2020 ASCENT DIES UNEXPECTANTLY AND FREQUENTLY. IT'S HAPPENED SIX TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THREE TIMES ON EACH OF THE BATTERIES IT'S HAD. PERIODICALLY THE CAR JUST WON'T START.

WITHIN A SEVEN MONTH PERIOD AND WHILE MY CAR HAD UNDER 10,000 MILES ON IT, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD TWICE. BOTH TIMES A PEA SIZE CHIP HAD PROGRESSED INTO A 12-18 INCH CRACK WITHIN A HOUR WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE SAME CITY HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS AT/UNDER 60 MPH AND WAS HIT WITH COMMON HIGHWAY GRAVEL. MY PREVIOUS SUBARU, A 2018 OUTBACK, ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED WHEN THE REARVIEW MIRROR POPPED OFF THE WINDSHIELD ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND LEFT A HOLE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS SOMETHING DEFECTIVE WITH THESE NEWER SUBARU WINDSHIELDS AND ITS A SAFETY ISSUE.

BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DISCHARGING. I MAKE SURE I'M DRIVING IT REGULARLY BECAUSE I'M AWARE THAT A CAR LEFT SITTING CAN DISCHARGE A BATTERY.

A HORIZONTAL CRACK APPEARED IN THE TOP 3/4 OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD. CRACK BEGINS ON LEFT MOST EDGE OF WINDSHIELD AND HAS SPREAD APPROXIMATELY 6' HORIZONTAL AND THEN 8' DOWNWARD. CRACK CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT ASAP. NO IMPACTS TO THE WINDSHIELD AND CRACK WAS FOUND AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT.

ON MARCH 19, 2021, WHILE PARKED, A HORIZONTAL CRACK WAS NOTICED ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, DRIVER'S SIDE. I ESTIMATE THE CRACK WAS 4-8 INCHES LONG. ON MARCH 21, 2021, A VERTICAL CRACK WAS NOTICED, WHICH EXTENDED FROM THE HORIZONTAL CRACK (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS).

BRAKE PADS NOT REPLACED WHILE AT DEALERSHIP FOR NON-UNIFORM BRAKE ROTORS. I BELIEVE NOT REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AT THE TIME OF RESURFACING THE BRAKE ROTORS WILL RESULT IN THE BRAKE ROTORS BECOMING NON-UNIFORM AGAIN. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM SUBARU STATING AN BRAKE PAD DESIGN UPDATE, BUT WAS NOT OFFERED IT BECAUSE THE DEALER DOES NOT BELIEVE THE NON-UNIFORM ROTOR IS CAUSED BY THE OBSOLETE BRAKE PAD DESIGN. VEHICLE HAS AROUND 8,000 MILES AND VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS PROMPTED SERVICE CALL.

PARKED VEHICLE FOR THE EVENING INSIDE OF GARAGE. NEXT DAY, HAD A LARGE VERTICAL, "S" SHAPED CRACK STARTING FROM THE AREA NEAR THE EYE SIGHT EXTENDING DOWN NEAR THE BOTTOM 3/4 OF THE WINDSHIELD. NO APPARENT CHIP OR DAMAGE AT THE STARTING POINT OF THE CRACK.

THE VEHICLE HAS 19,000 MILES AND ABOUT 1 WEEK AGO THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING AN ABNORMAL NOISE ALMOST LIKE GRINDING. THE CAR ALSO WOULD VIBRATE AND YOU COULD FEEL IT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND TURNS OUT THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS AND ALSO RESURFACE THE BRAKE PADS. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS THIS REPAIR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE PROPER DUE THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE ROOT CAUSE FOR BRAKE ROTOR WARPING. THERE IS ALSO A SUBARU SERVICE BULLETIN ON BRAKE ISSUES. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2020/MC-10179409-0001.PDF. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. SUBARU PREFERS TO JUST RESURFACE THE BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AS THIS IS THE LOWEST COST REPAIR FOR THEM, THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER FULL BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

TRIED STARTING MY CAR ON MARCH 5 AND WOULD NOT START. TRIED TO JUMP START BUT IT DID NOT WORK. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BATTERY IS DEAD. DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY BATTERY DIED. DEALER REPLACED OLD BATTERY WITH THE SAME OEM BATTERY. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX AND I TOLD THEM I'M NOT CONFIDENT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

WHEN I PARKED MY CAR 3 DAYS AGO, MY WINDSHIELD WAS PERFECTLY FINE. SINCE PARKING IT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN. TONIGHT WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE TO THE STORE I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDOW THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT THERE WHEN I PARKED THE CAR 3 DAYS AGO. THE CRACK IS LARGE AND VERY OBVIOUS, AND IT'S SOMETHING I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE NOTICED. THIS WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED THIS ENTIRE TIME AND THE WEATHER MILD.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTING NORMALLY WITH NO PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE. PARKED VEHICLE IN GARAGE ON 2/12/2021 AT 6:30PM. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE NEXT MORNING (2/13/2021) AT 8:30AM, IT STARTED SLOWLY. DROVE FOR 20 MINUTES AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART VEHICLE 15 MINUTES LATER AND IT WOULD NOT START (JUST BUZZED). CALLED AAA FOR A JUMP START. WAS INFORMED THE BATTERY WAS AT 10.2V AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATOR. JUMP START WAS SUCCESSFUL.

WE'VE OWNED OUR CAR FOR LESS THAN 8 MOS AND RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A CRACKED WINDSHIELD THAT DID NOT EMERGE FROM A ROCK CHIP. WE ARE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS AS THE REPLACEMENT HAS TO BE OEM (I.E. EXPENSIVE) BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES ON THE CAR.

THE BATTERY IS DYING PREMATURELY THIS IS THE SECOND TIME.I TOOK IT IN THE FIRST TIME AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD BATTERY NOW IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THE MORNING OF MY TRIP I HAD TO REMOVE THE BATTERY OF MY OTHER CAR AND INSTALL IT TO GO IN MY TRIP ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I PARKED IT AND REMOVED THE GROUND CABLE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO STAY STRANDED I WILL CALL SUBARU TODAY AND SEE WHAT THEY TELL ME.

MY BATTERY HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE AND PARKING AND USING ACCESSORY MODE X 10 MIN. THE SECOND AFTER SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR TWO DAYS. AT THAT POINT, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A "FAULTY CELL" IN MY ORIGINAL BATTER AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE THIRD TIME AFTER HAVING THE REAR GATE AND DOORS OPEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MIN TO VACUUM THE CAR. THE FORTH AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE GROCERY STORE AND WAITING WITH THE CAR IN ACCESSORY MODE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES FOR MY GROCERIES TO BE BROUGHT OUT. THIS LAST TIME IT WAS BELOW FREEZING OUTDOORS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE NEAR A STORE AND NOT HAVE MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAD CHOSEN TO DO GROCERY PICK-UP TO REDUCE MY PANDEMIC RISK, HOWEVER, I HAD TO WAIT INSIDE THE STORE FOR SOMEONE TO COME AND JUMP MY BATTERY.

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE JULY 2020. SO IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS AND ALREADY THERE'S A CRACK IN OUR FRONT WINDSHIELD

The battery has died 2 times on me and the tech was unable to find a reason why the battery would die; I did not leave lights on or have any thing draining the battery. There is a well known issue with the electrical system in this car and it needs to be replaced.

RIGHT FRONT ROTOR WARPED DEALER CHANGED AT 6,000 MILES AND ROTOR IS WARPED AGAIN KEEPS HAPPENING (LIBERTY SUBARU EMERSON NJ) DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE ROTORS, FRONT OF VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ,

THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY CONSTANTLY DIES DESPITE GETTING A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECENTLY DRIVEN AND EVERYTHING WAS TURNED OFF WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE.

MY 2020 SUBARU ASCENT TOURING HAS 8500 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER 2019. THE BATTERY HAS "DIED" ABOUT 5-6 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE MY SUBARU USUALLY ON SHORT TRIPS AND ONE LONG TRIP PER YEAR. I HAVE REPORTED THE DEAD BATTERY ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES TO MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER AND THEY ALWAYS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY BATTERY. I COULD DRIVE MY CAR ON A SHORT TRIP ONE DAY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR, THE BATTERY IS DEAD.

I WAS PARKED CURBSIDE WAITING FOR A FOOD ORDER WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE BACK. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF THE CAR BEING TURNED OFF WHILE WE WERE IN THE CAR, AND ONCE WE GOT OUR FOOD. I WENT TO START UP THE CAR AND IT WOULD NO LONGER START. IT'S WORTH NOTING THAT THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STAYED ON SINCE WE WERE STILL IN THE CAR. AND EVEN WITH THE PUSH BUTTON, EVEN WHEN I TRIED TO COMPLETELY POWER DOWN THE CAR, THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START, IT WOULD NO LONGER START. BUT THE CAR HAD PLENTY OF VOLTAGE. I ALSO COULDN'T GET THE DOME LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WAS STILL ON. I COULDN'T POWER EVERYTHING DOWN SO I COULD DO A CLEAN START FROM ZERO. WHEN THE PARKING LOT SECURITY BROUGHT A BOOSTER PACK, SINCE THE TERMINALS AND CABLES HAD NO INDICATION OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE WE DIDN'T TRY TO JUMP THE CAR. WE PRESSED THE PUSH BUTTON TO TRY TO START THE CAR ON IT'S OWN AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH AND THERE WAS A RAPID TICKING SOUND. WE LEFT IT ALONE FOR ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP.

WINDSHIELD BROKE WITHOUT ANY REASON. CAR ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD.

SPONTANEOUS CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD AFTER A COLDEST NIGHT IN MY REGION VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME WITH NO VISIBLE CRACK AND WHEN I WENT TO THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING TO DRIVE AWAY, THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD.

VEHICLE HAS 6700 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO DEALER 2X ALREADY FOR BRAKE ISSUES. FRONT BRAKES STARTED MAKING VIBRATION, GRINDING AND VIBRATION ISSUES. ISSUE EXACERBATED WHILE GOING DOWNHILL OR LIGHTLY BEING ON THE BRAKES. THEY'VE REPLACED BRAKE ROTORS, PADS AND CALIPERS THE FIRST TIME. SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS. 250 MILES LATER GOING DOWN HILL THE BRAKES ARE VIBRATING AND MAKING A GROWLING NOISE

WHILE DRIVING 50MPH THE HOOD IS VIBRATING AND FLEXING. WHEN BEING PASSED BY OTHER VEHICLES THE FLEXING AND VIBRATING BECOMES DISTURBING VIOLENT. AT THIS POINT I AM IN FEAR OF THE HOOD BECOMING UNSECURED AND LIFTING UP WHILE CRASHING INTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS THAT THE HOOD'S SUBFRAME HAS BECOME DETACHED. I AM FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
