2019 Subaru Outback

SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR 6 MONTHS AGO WE WOULD FIND THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND OCCASIONALLY THE TRUNK GATE AJAR. THE GATE WAS FOUND AJAR THIS MORNING, AND HAD APPARENTLY BEEN SO ALL NIGHT, AND THE BATTERY IS NOW DEAD. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR. THE TRUNK OPENING AT RANDOM HAS DRAINED OUR BATTERY AND MAY LEAD TO FURTHER ISSUES IN THE FUTURE.

I PURCHASED MY OUTBACK IN APRIL OF 2019. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, MY OUTBACK'S WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN JUNE OF 2019 AND MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD DURING THE SUMMER OF 2019. THEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN JULY OF 2019 THE WINDSHIELD OF MY 2019 OUTBACK CRACKED AGAIN. SUBARU OUTBACK'S REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELDS ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELDS. THEY ARE DEFECT AS WELL. MY 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK'S WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED TWICE IN AN 14-MONTH PERIOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OCEAN SUBARU OF FULLERTON (1100 S. EUCLID ST, FULLERTON, CA 92832, (714) 909-2363) AND THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD THE CONTACT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON HER OWN. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE WINDSHIELD. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED FOR THE THIRD TIME WITH THE WINDSHIELD GLASS BEING A SPECIAL GLASS CALLED EYESIGHT GLASS WITH SENSORS IN THE ACTUAL GLASS. THE REPAIRS HAD TO BE PERFORMED AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 12000 MILES ON IT. BATTERY KEEPS DYING. WE CARRY A JUMPER CABLE AND A BATTERY CHARGER ALL THE TIME. DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE THE BATTERY IN JUNE 2020 (IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO), DEALER SIMPLY CHARGED THE BATTERY. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT IS AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM, A BATTERY PROBLEM, OR OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS COMPONENTS THAT KEEP DRAINING BATTERY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THIS HAD MADE THE CAR MOST UNRELIABLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, PERSISTING FOR OVER THE PAST 8 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRACK WAS LOCATED IN THE UPPER MIDDLE SECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE CRACK OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL COMPLAINT.*JB

MY 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK BATTERY HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ME. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK AND HAD NO ISSUES AT ALL WITH THE BATTERY. THE FIRST TIME THE BATTERY DIED, MY NEIGHBOR WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE BATTERY. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES AND HAD TO CONTACT SUBARU ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET MY BATTERY JUMPSTARTED. IT SEEMS THAT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS WITH THE LIFTGATE. A COUPLE OF TIMES I'VE COME OUT TO START MY CAR AND THE LIFTGATE IS UP, BATTERY IS DEAD. THE LIFTGATE ALSO MYSTERIOUSLY OPENED ON ME ONCE DURING A ROADTRIP TO GATLINBURG WITH MY VEHICLE LOCKED. OTHER TIMES WHEN THE LIFTGATE IS CLOSED AND BATTERY IS DEAD, AFTER JUMPSTARTING, I CAN HEAR THE CAR TRY TO PULL THE TAILGATE TIGHT LIKE IT THOUGHT THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN. THE LAST TIME THAT I HAD MY BATTERY JUMPED, I WAS OUTSIDE THE CAR. AS SOON AS THE CHARGER WAS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO CAME ON. (INSTRUMENT PANEL, DOME LIGHTS, ETC.) ALL THE DOORS WERE SHUT, AND I HAD NOT PUSHED A BUTTON TO GET THIS TO OCCUR. THAT, TO ME, DEFINITELY POINTS OUT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THAT SUBARU HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE COMPUTER CONTINUALLY SENDS A REQUEST TO THE TAILGATE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS CLOSED. THIS SEEMS TO BE WHAT IS KILLING THE BATTERY. THERE HAVE BEEN CAMPERS STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY DUE TO TAILGATE OPEN AND TENT ATTACHED TO THE CAR. THIS SEEMS TO CONTRADICT SUBARU OUTBACK'S BUILD FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURE. I'VE CONTACTED ROMAIN SUBARU IN EVANSVILLE MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY CAN'T EVEN FIND MY NAME IN THEIR RECORDS, CLAIMING THAT MY VIN BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE. IT'S REALLY ODD BECAUSE I'VE PURCHASED 3 VEHICLES FROM THEM. I'VE YET TO GET THEM TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I DON'T WANT THEM TO REPLACE THE BATTERY SINCE THIS WILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

WE DEVELOPED TWO SPONTANEOUS CRACKS IN OUR WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. NO DEBRIS HIT THE WINDSHIELD AT ANY TIME. THE CRACKS BEGIN UNDER/AT THE DRIVER SIDE NEAR/UNDER THE WIPER UNIT. (THE CRACKS ESSENTIALLY FORM A WIDE "V" ONE CRACK TOWARD THE PASSENGER SIDE IS QUITE LONG AND GROWING, THE OTHER IS SHORT - ABOUT 3" NOW ALSO GROWING). THE LOCATION OF THE BEGINNING OF THE CRACK/S IS UNDER THE LEVEL OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR, WHICH WOULD ALSO MAKE IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CRACK TO BE DUE TO A PEBBLE, GRAVEL, ETC.
