I bought three batteries for my 2018 Subaru Forester and was forced to run heaters in my garage year round and pay roadside services several times. Just last week, with early summer heat at 82 degrees, my car died again in a grocery parking lot. This in spite of buying very expensive upgraded batteries at the advice of car mechanics who made me aware of this Infamous Subaru mattter. This article mentions some lawyers who are involved in this lawsuit but their site notes they are NO LONGER taking any contact information. After being stranded due to so many dead battery events and left for hours living, as I do, in a remote mountain location, I finally traded in this 2018 Subaru Forester. I am a single elderly woman and, as a doctor often would have to head out at odd hours. You can imagine how frightening it could be if the car idlers low and could not start up before I could reach my destination. At times I had to trudge miles through dark and snow to achieve cell connection only to be told I could get a jump start only the next day. Subaru seemed indifferent to the hazards of freezing cold, blizzards, animals, or the risk of those with ill intent coming upon me. I incurred a high cost with monetary and emotional. I found the lower level Subaru workers to be ethical and caring; they would admit the problems and express concern. One even sent a check to cover one of my many 200 dollar jumpstarts. It was the executive Subaru management who completly stonewalled this matter. I just can’t find a way to join this lawsuit and thus am reaching out. Thanks for any updated contact info anyone could provide. When a 64 year old woman must sleep in a freezing car stuck in 3 feet of snow multiple times and be dismissed even whilst buying batteries over and again- told it is not a “Subaru matter” this is a malignant lack of concern. We need to treat each other as we wish for ourselves and our best beloveds. That is the standard I use as a physician. We are all in a community that should care. It is not acceptable, I am sure that a rich Subaru executive would accept his wife dying in the dark and cold for lack of honesty, diligence, or care. Why then was MY life so disposable that I should lay huddled for lack of truth and solution? I was doing my utmost for those who needed me and my grief was that sometimes I was trapped in a dead car instead of tending to another human who needed doctoring. The Subaru executives who dismissed my inquiries also harmed my patients who I could not reach for want of a reliable car. Again, I honor the local Subaru employees; I condemn, deeply the top of the organization- those who found are lives cheap; who found my patients lives cheap, who lacked the humanity to understand compassion requires honesty over money. They would never care to hear this message. It is wasted on people such as them. They value what they should not and they discard what makes us rich in ways they can never see or hold. Good luck and my deepest sympathies to all here who have suffered in any way. We are together in this. Treat someone well and know that, in doing so, you prove you have learned a lesson more valuable than money could ever teach. MBL MD
