Consumer Description

MY ASCENT HAS A LITTLE OVER 16,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED FEB. 2019. THE BATTERY DIED JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER NOT BEING DRIVEN FOR 4 DAYS. NO LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON AND TAIL GATE WAS NOT OPEN. HAD TO JUMP START IT AND TAKE IT TO SUBARU. BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED AT HOME AND NOT 2 DAYS LATER WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT FOR A FLIGHT.
