Subaru Outback Service Brakes Safety Report | Oct 15, 2012
Reported on Oct 15, 2012
| AS BRAKES WERE STEPPED ON CAR WAS SLOW TO RESPOND TO BRAKING PRESSURE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BUT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ON SUBSEQUENTLY STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I HAD BRAKE RESPONSE, BUT IF I KEPT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS UNUSUAL AS UP UNTIL THIS INCIDENT THERE WAS A VERY SOLID BRAKE FEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD STOP AND HOLD ABOUT HALFWAY TO THE FLOOR. ALSO OF NOTE AND REPORTED IS THAT AT 1500 MILE THIS CAR HAD STEERING VIBRATION AND STEERING CONTROL ISSUES, WHICH WERE FINALLY ADDRESSED AT 11,500 MILES. *TR | |
