In the Subaru battery drain class-action lawsuit, Torque News recently reported a new ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey that largely denied Subaru s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs consolidated class action complaint. The class-action lawsuit alleges 2015-2020 Subaru Outback and 2019-2020 Subaru Ascent SUVs have electrical problems causing the battery to drain.
The lawsuit also includes 2015-2020 Subaru Forester, 2015-2020 Subaru Legacy, and 2015-2020 Subaru WRX models. A recent ruling by New Jersey Court Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez says multiple claims against Subaru of America related to Subaru Forester and Legacy models are dismissed. The judge did not dismiss claims related to the 2015-2020 Subaru WRX models.
