2019 Subaru Ascent Other Problems

All of a sudden my vehicle accelerated after placing it in reverse with my foot on the brake. There was a screeching sound and I immediately shifted into (at least) Park. In attempting to exit my garage again, it repeated the same events.

As a veteran and spouse of an active duty service member, we are currently fulfiling our overseas tour in South Korea. We were notified of the recall of our Subaru Ascent and made contact with Subaru via email for guidance on how to proceed as we are not within the continental United States. My email to them was as follows: Our family is currently stationed overseas in South Korea.

Oily blue smoke from exhaust upon start

1st replacement: replaced factory windshield (7/27/19) due to crack from top right to the middle of the glass. 2nd replacement: on the highway on ramp at <55 MPH, a pebble hit on the drivers side towards the bottom of the oem (7/27/19) replacement windshield and a substantial chip (immediate spider crack) resulted.

Blue smoke and hesitation as if motor will turn off. Blue smoke upon turning SUV on.

A/C Pipe Evaporator refrigerant leaking

Since owning this vehicle, there have been three separate incidents where the windshield has failed after a small rock has struck it while driving on the highway. The first incident caused a significant chip causing a repair. The second incident was a crack that required total replacement and recalibration.

When starting it blows blue smoke out of tail pipes that lingers in the air. I Bought used on 7/23/22 and previous owner just said it did the same with them. It was taking to Subura dealer to be fixed and they don’t know what to do to fix it.

Hi Issue #1: My Subaru never gives the MPG what they promised, on average I get 17 or 18 MPG mixed drive supposed to get 21MPG, whenever I complain to the dealership they give a standard answer about it depends on driving style never attempted to find the root cause. Never had this issue with my previous cars, I used to get the same as what they promised. So I feel not related to driving style.

Electrical failures including eyesight, the dealers lie about the work they do, the latest was recent - they said sludge was everywhere which causes the timing to be off and said the entire engine needed to be replaced but refused to do so. I do not trust they were honest about the spot welds, as my VIN and contract were mysteriously changed after I took delivery.

All warning lights came on last week may 5th 2021 while I was drivingthecarhone after dropping my daughtertoschool. I pulled over and called the dealership and was advise to take the car in. As I drove the engine started to lag and icouldnotdrive more than 45miles.

Dead battery without warning. The car has only $11,100 miles on it. I had to call roadside service for a jump and go to the nearest place and buy a new battery.

The car emits gas, petrol fumes in the cabin via the vents. The car has been brouhgt back tho the shop several times and they have not been able to repair this. Have taken a gas sensor to the vents and the gas sensor proves that gas/petrol fumes are being released into the cabin and can potential cause affixation.

Windshield easily cracked < had to get repair in !st 6mos w/ car, has sealed crack deep chip in middle of windsheild.

Windshield cracked by itself while driving down a road at 45mph. Stereo system defective. Stereo has been replaced 3 times already

When accelerating the car lurches and hesitates, there is also a low growling noise from the right side. This happens most often at low speeds, in neighborhood driving, under 30 miles hour. The car has already had a new transmission as we were told this would resolve the issue.

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.

REAR TAILGATE WON'T OPEN WHEN BUTTON PRESSED MAYBE HALF THE TIME. IT HAS CLOSED TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK WHILE GROCERIES WERE BEING LOADED AND HIT TWO PEOPLE IN THE HEAD. SUBARU DEALER HAS REPLACED THE CONTROLLING MODULE BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED FOR A YEAR.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM A SMALL ROCK WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE

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.

SUSPECTED IMPACT FROM A SMALL PEBBLE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THIS RESULTED IN A SMALL CHIP ON THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WITHIN THE TOP 1/2" OF THE GLASS. AFFORDED NO TIME TO SCHEDULE A FIX WITH A GLASS COMPANY. WITHIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS, CRACK SPREAD TO THE EDGE AND FROM UPPER RIGHT CORNER DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD (OVER 2 FOOT LONG) CRACK. THE CRACK APPEARS TO BE ONLY ON THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS. WITH PRIOR VEHICLES, A SMALL CHIP DID NOT RESULT IN A QUICK TO DEVELOP CRACK. CONCERNED ABOUT QUALITY AND DURABILITY OF SUBARU GLASS.

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?

My 2019 Subaru Ascent windshield cracked from no apparent reason while driving on freeway. There was a loud bang sound and there is a circular crack quite symmetrical in the middle of the windshield. The diameter of the circular crack was ~2 inches wide.

The rear door knocked me to the ground because it didn’t go back up when it came in contact with my body and I couldn’t get out of the way fast enough

Small crack in windshield has spread across entire windshield rapidly. We do not recall when the small crack occurred but the crack spread across the entire windshield in roughly two weeks time.

I parked my car at work with nobody around me and nothing above the car. When I got out of work I sat in the car I noticed a crack on the windshield approximately half a foot. I drove it that morning and absolutely sure it was not there.

Battery died while parked with no other lights etc left on

Hairline crack on windshield. Unknown how and when it started. Noticed when I entered the car in evening.

Moon roof cracked. Car was parked away from trees etc. Roof was in tack when parked.

The car was in the usual parking space when I go to work. No hazard or debris that might hit the car/ windshield but today when I get off from work, my windshield has a 30' linear crack, extending from the passenger side up to the middle of the windshield. There is no mark that the windshield is hit by a stone or debris or hit by something hard.
