2020 SUBARU ASCENT Complaints

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT IS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH WIDE GOING HORIZONTALLY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

MY VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW 7 MONTHS TO BE EXACT. WHEN IT WAS 4 MONTHS OLD I'VE STARTED TO NOTICE RUST AND CORROSION ON THE WINDOW PANELS THAT ARE METAL. WHEN I WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGE SERVICE THEY DENY THAT THERE IS RUST AND JUST OFFERED TO POLISH IT. AT 7 MONTHS THE WINDSHIELD HAS CHIPS AND CRACKS WHICH IS ODD WITHOUT A REASON.

WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF DRIVING THE CAR OFF THE LOT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THE CRACK FIRST APPEARED IT WAS STATIONARY.

THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 9000 MILES. THE BATTERY JUST DIED AND IT IS NOT HOLDING A CHARGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 SUBARU ASCENT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STAND STILL, HE NOTICED THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT IMPACT IN THE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LANDERS MCLARTY SUBARU (5790 UNIVERSITY DR NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35816: (256) 382-2425) AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO WINDSHIELD REPAIR CENTER. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

I HAVE ABOUT 1600MI AND HAVE HAD TO JUMPSTART THE ASCENT 5 TIMES. THE DEALER SAYS EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT, BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 SUBARU ASCENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING A COUNTRYWIDE ROAD TRIP AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SHIMMIED WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE GOING DOWNHILL ON A STEEP GRADE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER GROOVE SUBARU (5300 S. BROADWAY, ENGLEWOOD, CO 80113, (720) 279-9409). THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO SEEK A COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TEST BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHEN HE RETURNED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTHORIZED DEALER NEAR HIS RESIDENCE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,500.

MY SUBARU ASCENT 2020 IS JUST 4 MOS OLD AND IS CURRENLTY AT 6KMILES ODOMETER READING. SPEAKER SYSTEM STOPEED WORKING TWICE ALREADY. AMPLIFIER GETTING HOT EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS NOT USED. LAST NIGHT THE CAR WONT START AND AND ALL THE LIGHT INSIDE AND OUT JUST FLICKERED FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN DIED. HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT JUMP STARTED. SO YEAH A 4 MONTH IKD CAR WITH BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALREADY.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED NEAR THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. IT WAS A HORIZONTAL CRACK AND CONTINUED TO SPREAD IN BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTIONS EACH DAY. I DID NOT FIX IT IMMEDIATELY DUE TO COVID-19 FEARS. IN DECEMBER 2020 I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT HAD GROWN TO 1.5 FEET LONG.

2800 MILES ON VEHICLE. TODAY LOST POWER TWICE GOING UP STEEP HILL (ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS STILL INTACT, WAS ACCELERATING UPHILL AND WAS SIMILAR TO SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL THEN RE-ACCELERATED AFTER 10-15 SECONDS, DRIVING APPROX 30MPH). NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLISION DUE TO SLIPPERY ROAD, DID BRIEFLY ROLL BACKWARDS BEFORE BRAKING. NOT SURE I WILL EVER BE WILLING TO PUT MY KIDS BACK IN THIS NEARLY-NEW VEHICLE.
