I have lived in Tucson, AZ since 2001. I have a passion for Steelers football, good food, and better beer. I love to run, bike, or swim every morning. I have learned two things in life: 1) Never say never 2) It's never to late to change or improve oneself!

I visited Subaru because, for the second time, my 2019 Subaru Forester turned off completely while I was driving. Jade, a staff member, mentioned she has seen this issue multiple times when the battery ne More

Dear Lisett, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand how alarming it must have been to experience your vehicle shutting off while driving, especially with your children in the car. Safety is always our top priority, and I regret that you left feeling unheard. That said, I do want to clarify several points. While our team member may have referenced similar battery-related concerns, complete engine shutdowns while in motion remain extremely rare in our experience. As I explained during your visit, we might encounter a situation like this approximately once per month out of thousands of vehicles serviced—hardly an indication of a widespread defect. To date, Subaru of America has not issued a recall because no consistent or verified root cause has been established. It's also important to correct the suggestion that I asked Subaru of America not to support your case. That is not true. My role is to share accurate service history and documentation when Subaru reviews requests for goodwill support. Ultimately, their decisions are made independently, based on the vehicle's full case history—including any prior assistance, which in your case was extensive. Additionally, I’d like to note that during this time, we provided you with a new Subaru Ascent loan vehicle for 9 days at no charge—a gesture intended to support you while your Forester was being evaluated. While I regret that this experience has impacted your view of Subaru, I stand by the professionalism of our team and our commitment to both safety and customer service. If there’s anything further I can do to assist, I’m available to speak directly. Sincerely, Scott Gregg Fixed Operations Director Tucson Subaru

Scott, it is very dismissive to act as if you don’t know why Subaru of America had to help with this 2019 vehicle “extensively”. It is a lemon. This is not the first time this vehicle has stopped while driving with my children in the car. The last time it was towed to you, still in drive mode, completely stuck. Did you care when this was explained to you? No. It’s not your family that is in danger, so, why would you? You may absolutely continue to deny it is a wide spread issue despite the article included in the original post that shows that many people experience this exact issue. You even mentioning the loaner is humorous. You had Jade call me daily to bring back the loaner when you are the one who told me to reach out to Subaru of America knowing that was YOUR job to do. You were well aware I was awaiting call back from them and had Jade harass me daily. They explained to me that you swiftly called them to tell them not to assist as you all have assisted in the past. When I got to speak to them after you hurriedly communicated your stance, I was denied any assistance for this repetitive and unsafe issue. When I finally agreed to pay over $500 to try to make this vehicle work, you all didn’t even have the parts needed to fix it and I had to wait longer with the loaner. Thinking this response is adequate by any means is embarrassing for Subaru. Hopefully, they gain control of their quality as well as their service department.
