| Description of the problem | After 4 months of ownership, in april 19 the batterie died while at a camping trip. Fellow campers tried to boost the battery to no avail. I had limited cell support. Road side assistance came and towed the ascent to the dealership. They found high current drawn from the awd system but said that beside a completely dead battery everything was normal. They provide the same batterie type. In march 2020 the car wouldn't start. Contacted subaru roadside assistance, jumped the car. In june 2020 white getting ready for a camping trip, after packing the car, which involve leaving the rear hatch open and door constantly opens and closed the car wouldn't start. Using a portable backup batterie i was able to jump the car and go on my trip. While camping i kept the engine running while i was unloading the the car. Did he same when i loaded the car back. |
