I purchased my 3rd new Subaru, an Ascent Limited 2020 in January 2020. I experienced significant problems at about 15,000 miles with shuddering upon a right turn acceleration. I have had a right front hub assembly, front springs, 2 CV axles, front struts, the transmission (with a factory re manufacture) and center differential replaced... all under warranty. I now have nearly 75,000 miles on it and only believe it has value as a trade in to a dealer.
The problem is that the CV transmission combined with a longer wheelbase, heavier weight, and higher toque engine flat out doesn't work. This was not apparent in my older, smaller new Outbacks.
I owned 4 franchised Auto Repair Centers and was frustrated that they only replace the transmission and center differential as a last resort. Until the CVT transmission is cast out do not buy an Ascent.
