| Description of the problem | I attempted to start my subaru ascent and it would not start. I contacted subaru's towing and they came and jumpstarted the car. The towing company informed me that subaru's ascent batteries are defective and that they have been forced to jump a number of them. I drove to work. The next morning, i woke to the same problem. I called subaru's towing service, and they came out again. I took the car to the dealership and they tested the battery, but the battery did not exhibit fail codes. Subaru would not replace the battery, despite the two failures. Since this time, i've had multiple battery failures and subaru continues to deny my request for replacement. |
