Disappointed

Our brakes were repaired three times! The sunroof is still a problem, it leaked and cracked. The overhead dome lights won’t turn off and it runs the battery down.

Emergency Purchase

Bigger than I need, but I was buying during the electronics parts battle. Decent gas mileage, comfortable to drive, lumbar is a joke, heat/AC is excellent, and it's high enough to give good visibility. Has 19 cup holders that no one can explain. Subaru is a trusted brand and I'll consider another one when/if I need to replace this one.

Ascent brake and sun roof problems

We are not happy with our Subaru ascent, we have had the brakes repaired at least 3 times, finally they got it fixed! We have had the sunroof repaired 3 or 4 times and now the glass is cracked, we think it Subaru’s fault for over tightening to stop the leak but they want us to pay over $900 so we are driving with a cracked sunroof.

Subaru's failure to deal with ongoing issues

1. Rear tail gate malfunction and an alarm that you can't shut off until you disconnect the battery...and resets everything. 2. Careful...it easily oversteers....gotta learn to deal with that quick. 3. Apparently wears out auto batteries quicker than average. 4. "Eye Sight" (automatic sensing system) lots of annoying beeps.....and almost caused an accident. I was driving down the road, a car coming the other way, turned left from the turn lane across my path, it was far enough away and moving fast enough, that I did not even take my foot off the gas, much less think about braking....the automatic eye sight system caused the car to SLAM ON THE BRAKES!!! After that incident, I block off the Eye Sight sensors. (Both the Eye Sight issue and the Rear Gate issue, Subaru has know about for at least two years and has not addressed either) A 60K service recomendation list that runs into thousands of dollars....didn't see that coming!

Traded our beloved Ford Expedition for this car…My wife’s choice…

My wife chose this car…I was worried about her choice, but now see it was a great choice to replace the 2003 Expedition I loved…And it gets 3 times the mileage…

Great family icar

Plenty of space and great engine performance. Good price and value. Lots of high techs. Captains' seats are very useful. Can transport house repair tools and materials. There was a tailgate issue Subaru was working on.

Very positive experience

My wife and I both love the Accent. It has been very dependable and we feel safe in the car. We bought the car originally because of the Subaru history of all-wheel drive and the safety features that it has. As a senior citizen I feel great comfort in knowing if my reflexes are too slow to avoid and accident, in most cases the car itself will. The car is very comfortable and holds the road extremely well. One item I would like to see improved is the noise level. The car tends to be noisy.

Ascent

The ascent is spacious and accommodates for 7 people nicely. Has some trouble with the transmission recall which that was taken care of quickly. Car handles beautifully in the snow/rain conditions we live in.

Jury is still out

The transmission is glitchy and the throttle surges on the bottom end.

Piece of crap!

I have had this vehicle for 3 years and the amount of trouble I’ve had with it has been tiresome. From tire issues to leaks to system issues to tech issues, etc. I am very upset and disappointed. When I was sold this vehicle, I was sold on the fact that it was super reliable and one of the best vehicles on the road. This has not been the case and unfortunately either I was lied to or this vehicle is a lemon. Either way, I am super unhappy and very angry.

Overall this is a nice car. It drives well. I wish the trunk and back seat had a bit more room.

Very poor gas milage. Very "nervous" steering.

Excellent vehicle in every aspect expected from this type of SUV. Loved everything about it except 17.2 miles per gallon economy and absolutely terrible steering, it is too sensitive.

Ascent

Drives great! Comfortable inside. The truck is a little small for golf clubs. I do not love how the white paint wears by the door handles. I enjoy the side waring lights. I bought this car 6 months used from a business connection.

Subaru Ascent 2019

The service was excellent. Pleasant person to deal with, and the cost of service was reasonable. Received my car back ready to go in less than three hours. All in all I was impressed by the quality of the service.

Great Vehicle

My wife loves her Ascent. Great handling vehicle especially in the snows we get here in Northern Idaho. I’m sure this will be the last vehicle she owns
