NHTSA Complaint #11416658 — 2017 SUBARU LEGACY

BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2017 AND I HAD MY BATTERY REPLACED 2.5 YEARS LATER DUE TO LOW BATTERY, MULTIPLE JUMPSTARTS, FAILURE STARTING, AND SEVERE CORROSION. THE REPLACEMENT BATTERY WAS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT HAD SEVERE CORROSION. DURING SERVICE THE CORROSION WAS CLEARED, BUT RETURNED BY THE TIME THE NEXT SERVICE WAS DUE. I WAS ASKED TO PAY $57 TO CLEAR THE CORROSION WHICH I DECLINED BECAUSE I THOUGHT SINCE I GOT THE BATTERY BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD DO IT FOR FREE. 2 SERVICES LATER (1 YEAR) THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDS BATTERY SERVICE AT $90 DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. WITHIN THAT YEAR, I'VE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH LOW VOLTAGE. SUBARU HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE BATTERY CORROSION AND THEY KEEP PUSHING A PAY-FOR BATTERY SERVICE.
