Failure Date: 02/13/2021

Vehicle has been starting normally with no problems since purchase. Parked vehicle in garage on 2/12/2021 at 6:30pm. While starting the vehicle the next morning (2/13/2021) at 8:30am, it started slowly. Drove for 20 minutes and turned vehicle off. Attempted to restart vehicle 15 minutes later and it would not start (just buzzed). Called aaa for a jump start. Was informed the battery was at 10. 2v and there was no problem with the alternator. Jump start was successful.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 2019 Subaru Ascent

Failure Date: 02/05/2021

Several times our 2019 Subaru Ascent battery has drained down to low levels requiring jump starts. This last time was this winter and -15 degrees outside and was very dangerous for her. The alternator does not seem able to keep up with the load. I have heard of many other people having this problem. It sat overnight on both occasions.
