2023 Subaru Ascent touring loaded bad vibes

Well I made the mistake of giving up my 2022 outback wilderness with 17700 miles for a 2023 Ascent. I loved my wilderness as it was super reliable. Problem from the get go, my salesman is a great guy was headed this way to deliver to my home Monday, . got within 30 miles of my home all the dash lights came on and RAB,Eyesite , and all other lights came on, he turned around took it back. the service dept did diagnostics and, reset found no problems. Waited till Wednesday (today) my salesman gets it to me, we sign papers swap vehicles. he shows us all the bells n whistles and leaves. one hour later my wife cranks this suv and dont back out 20 ft of our driveway, all lights on again , no eyesite, rab, vdc brakes. I go check it out crank and walk around the Ascent . I smell ammonia very strong. this vehicle has bad issues. dealer coming to get it and bring me free rental. WOW how i miss my Black on Black outback Wilderness terribly. How stupid could I be. But all the reviews are great but mine. Im crying now.

Car is too new to give any useful rating or experience. Got it yesterday. But it continues to surprise me with quality and deep thoughtfulness of design for comfort and driver experience..

We purchased our 24 Ascent to replace our 2029 model. The car has performed consistently and continues to take us on many road trips. Roomy, quiet and plenty of room for hauling our stuff. Currently has 14,000 miles

Great looks, value and turbo

There isn’t anything I can find fault with. It’s a great value for all its features, safety and comfort. Rides smoothly without strain—the turbo is exactly what you need. And it looks great both inside and out.
