Subaru Ascent

""car priorizes apple play over android regardless of what we would like it to prioritize. main driver has android and when iphone passengers are in the car, apple over rides. its obnoxious""

"Display screen went blank"

""Connection to Android smartphone for navigation and music is inconsistent. It's awful in hilly terrain of western South Carolina and Central North Carolina, but it happens in southeast Florida where the elevation ranges from 0 to 20 feet above MSL. Y""

"Have had multiple issue with struts or strut mounts failing. First time happened under warranty if first few thousand miles. Occurred again a few years later. Was glad I purchased the extended warranty."

"Clunking noise on rough roads coming from front suspension believed to be strut and shock related. Dealer did not resolve."

"October 2024 the dealer informed me that the LF strut was bad also. This was covered by my extended warranty."

"Road debis can impact compressor causing a leak and lose all refrigerant."

"This is a new issue and I havent taken it in for service yet. However, I think it is simply my blower motor may be failing as it seems to only blow at one speed and is barely blowing/cooling. Im sure my dealership will quickly fix it as they e been great."

""Rear Blower went out at 38,000 miles. No warranty coverage. A blower motor should be less than $500 to repair. Subaru charged $3,500 because they had to change the a/c freon in order to change the blower motor. Very poor design.""

"occasional trans. shudder"

"There was a software upgrade that was finally done after 3 different visits for the same issue"

"It does not shift smoothly"

"There is a low level rattling noise when brakes are applied - mechanic believes it is loose baffles inside muffler"

"Replaced auto-raising hydrolic tailgate strut."

"Constant tire pressure leaking since it was purchased in 2019. Originally blamed by tire dealers on valve stems, which have been replaced twice. It continues and requires weekly monitoring and biweekly filling."

"Leaking from Sun roof into rear of vehicle. As a result, Sun roof rusted and did not function effectively. Problem started over 1+ years prior, occurred any time there was heave precipitation, and I kept bringing to the dealership and they could not determine the source of the problem. I finally said I would not pick up car until fixed. Hose inside sunroof was twisted and repaired in October 2025. Entire headline and sunroof were replaced due to water damage. It was very expensive."

"Water leaking in through the driver back seats seat belt hole, dealership cant find leak"

"Since day one, theres been a rattle noise in my dash. I thought it was fixed, but its been back for a long time again. The dealership said they think its where the vents and A/C meet. They added foam to help but its probably deteriorated now and is rattling like crazy."

"The sunroof has a noisy air leak."

"Window would not close unless door was opened and closed"

"The engine started dropping occasional drips on the drive. The dealership and independent mechanics verified the oil pan is the culprit. Repair would be $1400 due to the labor involved in removing components to get the pan off for resealing. I have decided to check the oil level at least every other fillup rather than pay that much for a repair."

"Fan motor in seat was making noise had to be replaced under extended warranty."

"Sudden onset. No issues prior to event. Running errands and wouldnt start. Towed to shop and fuel pump was bad."

""Leaking oil from the oil level sensor started at 80000 km, needed 2 visits over 6 months to fix""
