Subaru Ascent

"The car had a slight pulsation when braking when I purchased the car. I complained and the dealer said there was no issue. The problem gradually became worse until a year later they replaced the rotors and pads for free."

"We hear squeaking going on the every time we stop."

""Slight vibration when braking at highway speeds. Not noticeable at slower speeds. SOA has a device bulletin on this, and I expect to have them replaced soon""

"This problem was part of the global display problem discussed earlier. The electronics overheated due to a cooling fan failure (probably)."

"The driver console display for the mileage and other information and the main display froze or when blank. It turned out the cooling fan failed and when every thing warmed up the electronics (probably the processor) overheated. The "head" unit was replaced under warranty. All is working as before. Unfortunately the part was back-ordered and it took approximately 1 month for the part to come in. I used a dealer provided loaner car for the month."

"GPS system is terrible. Maps very outdated when I bought the car. Dealer didnt know how to update them. I finally figured it out. The gps system was part of a package, but is not a good system. Provided by tom tom."

""We were experiencing some very cold weather. I went somewhere for about two hours and it wouldn't start. The infotainment system and dash went crazy,the brakes locked up. I attempted to restart it. Eventually, I called my husband and he jumped it. It didn't even have 5000 miles on it. It worked for two days and then I had issues again. At that point I called the dealership where we purchased the Ascent. They said it was a one off, all of the electronics make it susceptible to issues when it's cold. They told me to go buy a new battery. I said no, it's still under warranty. At that point they told me if it was mouse damage it wouldn't be covered under the warranty.They couldn't get me in for week and a half. I called another dealership and they could get me in in three days. They couldn't find anything wrong. A one off again. The weather. The tailgate uses a lot power. This was a Monday. Friday I went grocery shopping. I hadn't driven the car since Tuesday. We needed to jump it again. This time I received a warning that my airbags didn't work and I needed to get to a dealership immediately. I called the dealership and they got me in the next day. The battery was replaced. Problem solved. At least so far.""

"the car as well many other subaru models drains the battery if it is not driven for several days resulting in battery failure from charging. I have had 3 subarus 2017, 2019 and 2024, all 3 had this problem. the 2024 car came with a battery with 620 cranking amps. They replaced it one with 750 CA. no problems so for with this battery. nock on wood! if this does not fix the problem, no more subarus. this problem has affected thousands of their cars for years, i dont know why CR has not reported on it. more info 2565162367 d"
