Brakes made loud noise even when driving off the lot. told it was a new car and it will subside. the noise did not subside. it grew louder. took car to subaru dealer where they told me the rotors would need to,be cut! on a new car with under 900 miles! took it home and the noise was less but grew louder as the week went on. brought the car back to subaru and they indicated they would replace the rotors and the brake pads. of course, they didn't mention it would take over a week and a half to get the parts. noise was when braking whether stationary or moving. another issue is when my cell phone rings, the radio starts blasting! i almost ran off the road. this happened twice and the dealership can't seem to replicate the issue. they told me they had not had to resolve both the brakes and radio issue with anyone else in their dealership. i find this hard to believe, unless they did not sell many ascents. i am also worried about the electrical and transmission problems i keep hearing people complain about.
Windshield cracked from a small rock while driving on a highway 6 months after purchase
Traveling on highway at 70 mph when a deer jumped in front of our car and we hit it with the front end of the vehicle crushing the front end. all air bags immediately deployed and the front end began smoking profusely. within minutes of getting out of the vehicle it burst into flames and the entire vehicle burned up. concerned that these vehicles will burst into flames during a front end collision at high speeds.
My windshield and front passenger window are both cracked on my ascent. they both need to be replaced. this is the 2nd crack and windshield replacement on our ascent. the 1st replacement was in january 2019, just six months after purchase.
The car will emit white heavy smoke on start. the white smoke smells like burned plastic/oil. the issue was reported to subaru corporate and vehicle was taken to service for inspection. a video was recorded and sent to both dealer and corporate but issue could not be replicated. the issue still persists for more than 3 months and subaru could not resolve it. this is a concern to my family safety and to the environment. second issue was with spring assembly both front and back has to be replaced as defective.
We are hearing a thumping or knocking noise in the front right wheel well area. we notice this noise when the car is in motion on a rough road while driving, turning, or braking. the dealership we purchased our car from checked all running gear parts under the car, and steering components, to see if there were any visible problems. after a test drive by mechanic and another service department employee, they could hear the noise, but we're unable to find its source. we are wondering if any other owners of a 2019 ascent have experienced a similar problem?
A couple of months ago, my wife started the car and backed off a parking lot. when she pressed the brake and felt wired - the brake could not be pressed down and felt like it's jammed somehow. the car did not stop even she switched the car to parking! it eventually stopped after hit a parked car behind. because the speed was very low so there was no obvious damage to both cars. but after restarted the car, all the warning lights went on - rab, eye sight, at oil temp, low tire pressure, and the sun roof and sun shade not working.
