Description of the problem | Car had been running fine since purchased new in aug 2020. I had a normal 6 month service appointment for monday feb 8, 2021. On sunday feb 7, 2021 car wouldn't start. I called roadside assistance and they came to my home and used a battery starter to jump start the car. I let the car run for 30 minutes to charge the battery. The next day the car started fine so i went to the dealership for the scheduled service appointment. I asked them to check the battery because the car had to be jump started the day before. When the service was complete i was told that the battery checked out fine. Refer to item #5 on attached service report. I drove the car home. On wednesday feb 10, 2021 i tried to start the car but it wouldn't start. Roadside assistance came to my home and jump started the car. I drove the car to the dealership to have the service department look for a problem. The drive to the dealership took about 45 minutes. When i got to the dealership i turned the car off and, with the service advisor standing next to the car, tried to start the car. The car wouldn't start. I've since look inline for similar complaints and have found that lawsuits have been filed against subaru regarding similar complaints. See page #1 of attached magazine article. |
