Purchased the vehicle brand new in DC of 2018. Since then it has had a series of electrical issues dating back to as early June of 2019. The air conditioner stopped working and I had to take the vehicle in to get serviced. My first red flag. Then the battery randomly died while waiting parked in December (temperature that day was above freezing). After that instance, I had several more dead battery issues with the vehicle. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where again my battery died, I got the car jumped and the battery kept dying the next day. Recently had a new battery installed by the dealer (Tuesday) and again the battery died the next time I went to start the vehicle! the car also has other electrical issues regarding the start/stop feature. I've had instances where the vehicle has completely shut off and I had to manually restart it. The cruise control speed constantly varies. The car doesn't always recognize when I plug in my phone. It seems that any electrical components of the car simply don't work and are not reliable. Subaru should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this death trap of a vehicle on the road. I would never recommend a 2019 Subaru forrester to anyone looking to purchase a new vehicle. The car has been nothing but an expensive headache since the moment I purchased it. The irony of it all is that I traded in my old 2014 Subaru forrstor into the dealership because it had "electrical issues" according to the dealer and I was better off getting a new car. Me, being naive trusted their advice and drove off with this 2019 hunk of problems. I hope this message serves to any prospective buyer of any Subaru vehicle to do their own homework in regards to what they are purchasing.
