Consumer Description
My battery drains rapidly on many occasions, and as you can assume it is never a fun time being stranded. When you own a car this expensive, you expect it to work. We have replaced the battery twice already in our 2019. The car completely shuts down with the drained battery and leaves you stranded and begging for a battery jump. With two kids and being a women this leaves me vulnerable to many dangers. I would say including the time Subaru replaced the battery and the time my husband replaced it, we have lost total power due to this failure a dozen times or more. If I’m loading feed bags or recycling and the trunk is open for more then 30 minutes ,without the car being turned on burning fuel and releasing carbon dioxide into my face, the car will die. I am aware of it’s sensitive battery and try to avoid these situations, BUT it happened again on vacation this weekend prompting me to be quite angry with the car. It is a definite issue with the Subaru its-self and not an error on its humans part. The car battery drains completely because of wiring issues. The defect has cost me over $500 plus hours of stress and anxiety. I’d like to join the class action law suit against Subaru. After reading that they, Subaru corporation, claim no responsibility.
