We bought a Subaru Ascent on Dec. - Shanna
We bought a Subaru Ascent on Dec. 27th and on January 5th the vehicle was jerking like trying to drive a standard and you don't know how. I called the service depart and was told that it does sound like a transmission issue and to bring it in. Long story short we took it in and had to fight with them because they kept telling us that it wasn't covered under warranty even though Subaru extended the warranty on the transmission because they said its a known problem (we didn't know that when buying it or we would not have bought it). I had to call Subaru of America to get that information. They finally send my Subaru to the Subaru dealership to have it looked at. Nothing was ever done with it because they kept saying they couldn't replicate the issue. Even with that Crain would not stand behind their 100,000 mile powertrain warranty and after almost 5 weeks i got my Subaru back with nothing done to it. I have the text from their service person saying that their shop foreman even drove the Subaru and said its a transmission issue. There was no communication from them i had to keep calling to check on things. I emailed the GM Jason and he sent me over to Adam the sales manager because i told them i wanted to trade out of that because i didn't feel safe in it, because I have to take care of my Mother and have a small child and didn't want to be broke down somewhere on the side of the road with them. Adam then tells me he was going to do a "Bare bones Trade" and tells me to look on the website to find something. He then calls me and tells me he was going to tack on $10,000 neg equity onto it and my payment would raise another $150.00 a month. I told him he was crazy and to expect me to do that was absurd. He said let me go talk to Jason and call you back. Still to this day I have not got a call back and still have the a Subaru that has a jerking transmission. This dealership is the worst about communication and because I am a woman Adam thinks he can push over me... Well you got the wrong woman this time. Do not buy from this place if you want any help later on down the road even if its within 1 week of buying the vehicle like me. As we were leaving with the Subaru after 5 weeks the salesman came up to us to ask us what was happening I explained it to him and told him that Jason and Adam both are worthless and he said this is not the first time he has heard this. I told him we would not be back there and he said he didn't blame us that some days he doesn't even want to work there.
