Brake Light On problems of the 2005 Subaru Forester

This is a 1 owner car with only 65400 miles on it. I drove down a 30mph road and there was such a loud screeching sound . No light came on, I went to stop there was loud grinding . And 0 brakes out of the blue. The car wouldn't stop. I went threw the stop sign and into traffic before grinding to a stop. . This car has been maintained regular. I took it right away to a local repair shop. . They said the brakes are carroded and frozen. Requiring calipers ,rotors,pads on each front wheel. Just for the front the cost was over $950. 00 . I did show a recall for this but before I go to the sabaru dealer I need to make sure that this is covered. I am a disabled widow I drive very few miles . I have never had any vehicle require any thing other than pads. Rhis is a replacement of a defective braking system. Still the brakes light has not even come on.

The brake light came on two days prior. Checked fluid and was a bit low. I hadn't noticed and fluids under car so did not give it a second thought. I was driving on Sunday and had loss of pedal and the brake light came on and I nursed it home. I added fluid and pumped pedal in driveway. The pedal went to floor. I pulled it up on the internet and found some Subaru vehicles same age had brake line issues that were involved in a recall. I to to a local shop and the service manger told me it would be very expensive. I contacted Subaru and that as a goodwill gesture that they would credit $500 toward the $1850 bill which I thought was gracious. The dealer said the recall did not include the brake lines, but it did. I don't want to jeopardize what they are going to do for me, but could of been a scary event. I purchased the car new in michigan and took it to north carolina. I do believe that this problem is related to your brake line recall and should be expanded to previous years. Thanks.
