LOW MILES OWNER, GARAGE KEPT, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF NON-USE, IE-PARKED IN GARAGE, VEHICLE WILL NOT START DUE TO A DEAD BATTERY. BAYTOWN (CRAFT) DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. CURRENT MILEAGE 24K, STILL DOES SAME THING, IF VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN ALMOST DAILY, THE BATTERY WILL GO DEAD FOR ZERO REASON AND NO ONE A CHEVY KNOW WHY OR WHAT. HAVE HAD VEHICLE AT DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING EVER FIXED. *TR

ON TWO RECENT OCCASIONS MY SUBURBAN HAS FAILED TO START (BATTERY DEAD). I WENT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE, THEY TESTED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT WAS GOOD. WHY IS MY BATTERY GOING DEAD? BOTH INSTANCES ARE THE VEHICLE IS SET ON ACCESSORIES AND THE RADIO WAS WORKING. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE BATTERY WOULD NOT TURN OVER THE ENGINE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED MY CAR LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THE DOORS WHILE IM DRIVING AND THEN WHEN I PARKED IT WONT START, AFTER 5 MINS IT STARTED AND I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER COUPLE OF DAYS THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS FINE SO I DROVE IT BACK HOME. AFTER 3 DAYS WHILE IM DRIVING IT AT 40 M/HR IT LOOSES POWER AND CAME BACK THEN WHEN I PARKED IT WONT START AGAIN SO IT WAS TOWED GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN BACKING AND MOVING IT FORWARD. BUT AFTER 3 DAYS THEY SAID EVERYTHINGS FINE AND THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT HOME BUT I REFUSED AND IT STAYS THERE FOR 3 WKS, THEY NEVER CALL ME FOR UPDATES, NEVER CALL ME BACK EVERYTIME I LEFT A MSG OR NOT ANSWER MY PHONE CALL AT ALL. NEVER GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHICH IS PART OF MY WARRANTY, AND AFTER 3 WKS THEY TOLD ME TO PICK UP MY CAR BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. AND I DECIDED TO TRADE THE CAR (DIFFERENT MAKE) BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE, I LOST A LOT OF MONEY BECAUSE OF THEM BEING IRRESPONSIBLE. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND WENT ON THE FREEWAY AND AFTER ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION, MAKES A CLUNK SOUND AND DOWNSHIFTS AND JERKS THE WHOLE CAR AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSES WHIPLASH LIKE EFFECTS. LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU IN THE BACK WITH A BASEBALL BAT. TOOK CAR IN TO SUBARU DEALER THEY TRIED REPROGRAMMING BUT IT DID NOT WORK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SUBARU DOES NOT HAVE ANY ANSWERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT WAS COLD, AND RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES, WENT ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE DE ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION JERKED AND LOCK FOR A BRIEF SECOND, AND FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU IN THE BACK WITH A BASEBALL BAT. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR EVENING. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. THIS GIVES A FALSE SENSE OF BREAKING WHILE EXITING A FREEWAY AS THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO LOCK ALL THE GEARS AND THROW YOU INTO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE AT END AND THROWING YOU FORWARD. OR LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU WITH A BASEBALL BAT. DEALER UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION IT DID NOT WORK. STILL HAVING ISSUES AND SUBARU OF AMERICA TOLD ME, THAT THEY HAVE MANY TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND NOT SURE WHICH ISSUE THIS APPLIED TO. *TR
