Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2019 THE TOURING MODEL IN MAY THE CAR WAS DEAD A TOW COMPANY CAME GOT IT STARTED. THE NEXT DAY DEAD AGAIN THIS TIME IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. I'D HEARD FROM THE TOW GUY A CLASS ACTION SUIT ABOUT THE BATTERY. NOW SEPTEMBER 25 ALL BACKED TO GO FOR A WEEKEND EVENT WITH DOG, DEAD. WE UNPACKED LOADED A DIFFERENT CAR. SUBARU IS SAYING THEY NO NOTHING ABOUT IT AND IT'S PROBABLY MY DRIVING HABITS. THEY ASSUME I DON'T DRIVE MUCH IT'S NOW GOT 17K ON IT. I'M GOING TO BE TRAVELING ALL OVER WITH MY DOG TO SOME AREAS THAT ARE REMOTE. EVERYONE IS LEARNING OF THE ISSUE AN NOW I CAN'T SELL IT IN GOOD FAITH AND IT'S WORTHLESS TO TRADE. EACH TIME IT'S DIED IT'S BEEN IN THE GARAGE.
