I bought a 2019 Subaru Ascent because of the reliability. Wrong.
Today is the 4th time in this year or 2019 that I needed to call AAA to get a jump and the battery was already replaced once. My tailgate for some reason this time was open and it drained my battery. Having a tailgate open shouldn't drain a battery. I should have bought a Hyundai Santa Fe. Worst of all my jumper cables are in the under the back floor bin but due to loss of power I can't open the hatch again to open the bin to get my cables.
I can't keep this vehicle if it won't start for me. My family has two other cars which are Hyundai's and one of them is a 2014 and it starts every day. My 2019 won't start again, leaving me stranded for two hours waiting for AAA, and Subaru roadside was four hours - what a joke. Sad I ever went to a Subaru. Subaru, please make this right.
