2019 Subaru Ascent, brand new
2019 Subaru Ascent, brand new, brought it home, next day go out to run errands. Dead battery. Called On Star as it came with the car for a trial period, they came out an hour or so later and jumped it. Next day went out to run errand, same thing dead battery. Called On Star again, waited 1-2 hours, guy shows up jumps it. Asked me should I be expecting to come here every day? LOL! So 2 days later, planned to visit dealership, contractor at house gave me a jump start. So now 3 times, on a brand new car dead battery. Went to dealership & it took over an 1 hour as they wanted to place the car on their diagnostics machine to see if the battery was the issue. DAAAHH!. So got a new battery. This Subaru is an electrical nightmare, you can here the rear hatch solenoid clicking on and off when you start the car. The locking mechanism can & will freeze the car not to start. If dome light, just 1 is left on, dead battery next day. The back hatch opens up out to the blew & locks on you but gives you warning lights on the dash, something is wrong. But you cant open the back hatch. Stuck in a truck stop for over 1 hour, going threw all the exercises in the Subaru manual. BEST SOLUTION, unplug the battery, just like a computer, let it be dead. Could go on with this electrical miss engineering design that is not safe. Family car, back hatch you cant leave open. So if you have one of those tents that connect to back hatch, its useless. The funny thing is Subaru shows this advertisement for camping. This is electrical nightmare. Go back to simple unlock, lock, & I can close the back hatch by myself without electrical assistance. Because your engineering on electrical current does not exists. Car should be called,”we strand your family”. Love the car, get rid of all that electronically junk. I know how to drive.
