NHTSA Complaint #11387324 — 2019 SUBARU ASCENT

MY BATTERY DRAINS SURPRISINGLY QUICKLY FROM SIMPLE ACTIVITIES LIKE USING THE REAR HATCH DOOR A FEW TIMES BETWEEN STARTS, HAVING THE FRONT LIGHTS ON FOR AS LITTLE AS 15 MINUTES BETWEEN STARTS, AND HAVING THE DOME LIGHTS ON FOR AS LITTLE AS 1 HOUR BETWEEN STARTS. THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING AT A FOREST CAMPGROUND WITHOUT CELL COVERAGE. I HAVE USED AAA ASSIST MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THE HELP OF STRANGERS. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE A JUMP START BATTERY TO KEEP IN MY CAR. I HAVE ASKED SUBARU TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND BEEN TOLD SIMPLY THAT MY BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE WORKING NORMALLY.
