DOES YOUR SUBARU HAVE A BAD BATTERY

People are contacting the Auto Fraud Legal Center because their Subaru vehicles are leaving them stranded. Drivers of 2016-2019 Subaru Outbacks and 2019-2020 Subaru Ascents appear to have bad batteries. Subaru issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) in June 2017 and revised in October 2017 that “involved a reprogramming to attempt to address customer concerns that included ‘[p]otential battery discharge (dead battery) after repeated periods of short-trip driving.’”

The bulletin (TSB 11-174-17R) was issued for owners of 2015-2017 Subaru Legacy, Outback and WRX vehicles and 2017-2018 Foresters. The TSB includes the subject line: Reprogramming File Availability for: DTC P05A0- Battery Discharge after Repeated Short-Trip Driving High Engine Idle RPM After Depressing Clutch Pedal.

According to Subaru, the “bulletin announces the availability of reprogramming files to optimize the ECM and address the following customer concerns.”

  • “Check Engine light coming on (with DTC P05A0 stored in memory).”
  • “Potential battery discharge (dead battery) after repeated periods of short-trip driving.”
  • “A high (or “hanging”) engine RPM after depressing the clutch pedal (Forester only)

Your Subaru dealership will probably seek to replace the battery. This is the symptom of an issue that Subaru cannot fix.

Even during the Coronavirus epidemic, the Auto Fraud Legal Center is here to help you. California’s lemon law is designed to protect consumers by requiring car companies to repurchase or replace vehicles that suffer from warranty defects that cannot be fixed in a reasonable number of attempts – sometimes as few as 2 repair attempts. If you think your Subaru vehicle may be a lemon, we may be able to require Subaru to buyback your car.

Please contact the Lemon Law Department at the Auto Fraud Legal Center for a free case review. We are here to help you! We have been representing consumers in California for over thirty years. Contact Jeff Le Pere to address any potential lemon law claim or dealer misrepresentation claim you may have. jeff@rbblawgroup.com

Awesome!! Lilia Guizar got us out of a nightmare we were in with with a non operating vehicle. I was turned down by other firms after discussing my case. Lily took time to hear me out and was thorough with the information I provided her about my complaint. We are completely satisfied with our outcome!

Lilia Guizar was my attorney in a recent fraud case and I am so impressed with the outcome. The process was quick and easy. We even countered the first offer to get what was fair and I’m happy to say that the car was picked up today, I am free of that burden and I feel validated for all the time and money wasted trusting a dealership that took advantage of me. Widowed military wife and mother. That dealership thought I just give up. I’ve read that these cases can take a year or two to settle, I remember when speaking with Lilia and she said, ”I’d like to wrap this up by the end of the month,” and she absolutely did. Car was picked up Thursday, by Friday I received tracking from FedEx for the settlement check. That’s pretty incredible for this kind of litigious case. I read some of these other reviews and I have to say, once they take the case, don’t pester them, let them do their job. They always communicated when necessary but I didn’t need someone to hold my hand through the process. She was an aggressive attorney. Recommend her 100%!

Had a Jeep with several issues. Called Auto Fraud Legal Center and they were able to help me out. They had the dealership buy back my vehicle and give me my money back + extra. They are an amazing team, especially Lilia Guizar, she was with me from the beginning all the way to the end. She would call me and text me whenever there were any updates, she guided us through the process and helped us make the best decisions. I couldn’t have asked for a better result, thanks to Lilia and the rest of the team. In total, it took about 4 months to resolve my case, which was fast. Again, thank you Lilia and everyone at Auto Fraud Legal Center, you guys are the best!
