Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2010 Subaru Forester

Rear brakes wore out at 55k miles. Front brakes still had 7mm wear on them. Technician said it was probably due to corrosion of the calipers. The calipers rusted, causing the brake pads to be in constant contact with the rotors, wearing them out prematurely. This could have caused a fire in the vehicle due to overheating of the rotors. Same thing happened on my 2009 Subaru Forester. Rear brakes wore out at 85k miles, with 6mm left on the front brakes. This sounds like a design problem to me.

The auto under warranty and has calipers that stick, this is a danger from every mechanic I spoke to, Subaru refuses to honor the warranty, from everything I have read and heard, Subaru has had a constant caliper problem and will not make good on it - they say it is ok to drive like this, I have two little children and I was told by several mechanics that this could be a fire hazard, Subaru should be held responsible for this problem and make good on it.

I own a 2010 Subaru Forester with only 31, 000 miles. I had to replace the rear right rotars and calipers and all 4 brake pads. I am very concerned, these are not normal wear and maintenance.

At 23,486 miles, I took my car to my local and very reputable garage that specializes in Subarus. Once they got my car in the shop, they told me I was not going anywhere as the car was dangerous. It was towed to st. J. Subaru where I purchased the car. The left rear pad was missing and the caliper had been hitting on the rotor and ruin the caliper. At that initial repair, the Subaru service person said: "we've had some premature wear with the back brakes for some reason. " 20,000 miles later, the same thing has happened again and the dealer gave the party line. . . To bad, warranty up. It appears there is some manufacturer defect with the brakes. Please look into this right away as I cannot afford to replace brakes every 20,000 miles. Thank you.
