  1. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, and Suspension
    My Ascent needs new brakes again. I think there is plenty of pad life left but the rotors are warped I believe and vibrating. I'm not letting Subaru touch them again and I don't really want to use the Subaru trash brake parts. They haven't lasted worth a damn and have undergone so many...
  2. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, and Suspension
    I know it has been asked and answered several times, but I am really looking for confirmation of changing the rear pads and rotors without taking the EPB into maintenance mode with a scan tool. I’ve run across a lot of info (including the tech manual with a note alluding to not using the scan...
  3. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    Purchased a brand new, straight from the factory, 2023 Ascent, in December. On 6/7, I was driving my family and the brakes went out!!!! I was coming to a red light, and the brakes were completely locked up! You could hear the metal grinding and the car began to vibrate. I grinded to a stop. Once...
  4. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, and Suspension
    After getting my 2021 (72k miles) brakes replaced that didn't solve the squeeling problem, service tech said my front struts needs to be replaced. $1700 quote. Is this in line? Also about $650 was the cost for front rotors and pads! I wish I had done maintenance cost research prior to buying.
  5. Eyesight
    Sorry for the dumb question, but I didn't see anyone mentioning this. When the ACC automatically brakes to slow the vehicle, is it using the brakes on all four wheels or just the rear, which I assume the e-brake uses? I use the Cruise Control regularly on most roads and highways (not where a...
  6. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    I have a 2020 Ascent with 16,000 miles. For the last 6 months I have been fighting a rattle above my glove compartment. First they fixed a weather strip on my wipers but it didn’t fix it. They they replaced two parts with my glove compartment but it’s still happening. It isn’t constant but...
  7. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    Bought our new 2020 Ascent Touring with all the trimmings on December 26, 2019 and I’m not sure we made the choice. Only have 16,675 miles on it and already had the front brakes replaced three times despite a noise and shudder to observed and felt (and recorded) coming from front and rear...
  8. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    Has anyone had a driver seat failure related to the bracket/bolts/rails? - I am approaching the end of my warranty and had a few issues I wanted to get resolved before it lapsed. Everything was resolved (new front brakes!) except my driver seat, which had been loose and rattling a bit for the...
  9. Service And Maintenance
    I'm taking my 2020 Ascent to the dealer for pulsating and noisy brakes while driving at highway speeds. I've seen rumors of a 4th revision brake pad. Has anyone encountered this yet?
