Consumer Description

I chose electrical problem above, however to be specific, the issue is with the battery life. I’ve read numerous complaints online of other customers of Subaru outback and Ascent, and they are reporting the same issues that I am having. Premature battery drain. I am not misusing the car at all. This is happening with normal usage of the car. I have been left stranded in several places because of this issue. It’s gotten to the point where I had to purchase an electric charger to carry around with me. The last battery that was purchased for the car last year is now completely dead. It is ridiculous to have this amount a batteries replaced in such a short period on a newer model car. My car is only three years old. This is the third battery that I am replacing. I cannot count the number of times happen to me. So the date below will be the most current date when the battery died. The worst part is, Subaru knows about the issues, but they just keep giving me excuses for why it’s dying. Furthermore, they keep replacing it with the same type of battery. It’s not just me. These complaints are numerous throughout the Subaru ascent owners that I read online.
