Description of the problem | 2015 outback with 43,300 miles. Total brake failure while driving down a hill. I was able to stop the car with the transmission before it reached the railroad tracks. Dealer said this was due to excessive corrosion of the underbody of the car. Brake lines corroded and ruptured. Dealer said this was normal amount of corrosion. (they did not want to put this in writing) contacted subaru of america. (case # 1-58312860198) they said that since dealer said it was no big deal there was nothing they could do. Case closed. I am concerned that since the corrosion is so severe that this could happen again. (this car has a long history of other things not working) |
