2020 SUBARU ASCENT Complaints

AFTER DRIVING CAR, PARKED TO GO INTO A STORE. WHEN I RETURNED BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY. CAR HAS ABOUT 3,400 MILES ON IT. NOTHING HAS BEEN LEFT ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS WITH ENGINE OFF. BEEPING COMING FROM REAR AREA BY LIFT GATE. CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THEY CHARGED BATTERY AND I DROPPED CAR OFF AT CAR DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER ASCENT OWNERS HAVING SAME ISSUES. THETE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS FOR THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH ENGINE OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE BATTERY DIED WHEN MY ASCENT KEPT BEEPING 3 TIMES AFTER I CLOSED THE TRUNK WITH THE REMOTE. IT BEEPS 3 TIMES EVERY 20 SECONDS IN AN HOUR. THE BATTERY DIED

TWO TIMES THE WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED TO THE POINT OF NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE MOMENT OF IMPACT WAS NOT OBSERVED, JUST THE LARGE CRACK ACROSS HALF THE WINDSHIELD. THE SECOND TIME A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND WITHIN ONE HOUR THE CRACK HAD SPREAD FAR ENOUGH THAT THE WINDSHIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR (BOUGHT BRAND NEW) FOR 5 MONTHS AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD WINDSHIELD ON THIS CAR.

ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR, THERE IS A LARGE CRACK THAT HAS APPEARED FROM NO WHERE. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW OR DID WE SEE ANY DAMAGE OTHER THAN A CRACK APPEARING ONE DAY.

BATTERY HAS UNEXPECTEDLY REPEATEDLY DRAINED LEAVING UNABLE TO START. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.

BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD. I HAVE ENSURED NOTHING IS LEFT ON AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING. I ONLY HAVE 1866 MILES ON THE CAR.

TWICE MY 2020 SUBARU ASCENT'S BATTERY HAS BEEN DEAD. IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN EVERY DAY FOR AT LEAST 20-30 MINUTES. NOTHING WAS LEFT ON, OR OPEN. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ELECRICAL ISSUE DRAINING THE BATTERY.

MY 2020 SUBARU ASCENT HAS HAD A DEAD BATTERY ON MORE THAN 3 TIMES, JUST IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BATTERY WAS FINE AND THAT IF YOU LEAVE THE DOME LIGHTS, OR RADIO ON WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED, THE BATTERY WILL GO DEAD, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD AND HAS JUST 12000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID IF THE LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON AUTO, THAT WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. THEY ALSO TOLD ME TODAY WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER,THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH THE ASCENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 SUBARU ASCENT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CRACKING NOISE DETECTED AND THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,100.

LEMON LAW IN ACTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO CAPITAL SUBARU OF GREENSBORO AUGUST 2ND WITH A COMPLAINT OF CLICKING COMING FROM THE DASH. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE AC IS ON AND YOU ACCELERATE. THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE NOISE BUT DIDNT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE RESPONSE THEY GAVE ME WAS TO PICK MY CAR UP AND BRING IT BACK WHEN THE NOISE GETS WORSE. COMPLAINTS WERE FILED WITH SUBARU OF AMERICA AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2019 AND THE NOISE AND ANSWER IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING MY 4 WEEK OLD SON IN A CAR MAKING A NOISE THAT NOT NO ONE KNOWS WHY. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THIS DEALERSHIP. SINCE I WENT PUBLIC WITH MY STORY, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMING FROM THE WOODWORKS WITH THEIR HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES WITH THIS PLACE. THEIR MECHANICS ARE SUB PAR BY FAR. MOST OF THE TIME THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AND ONLY WENT ON A COUPLE OF 4 MINUTE TEST DRIVES. I WAS TRACKING IT WITH GEOLOCATION AND SPEED ALERTS. COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NCDOJ AND FTC AS WELL.
