1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 10/16/2013

My vehicle was inspected in April and approved, but by October of the same year my braking system was completely rusted and stuck. My mechanic said he had never seen anything like it. The rear pads were into steel, rotors deeply grooved, front brake pads stuck in brackets causing brake pressure to go to rear brakes causing quick wear. The rear brake pads and rotors had to be replaced, the front brake pads were also replaced, the brake rotors had to be resurfaced at a cost of $791. When I complained to suburu of America, I was told to take the car to the dealership where the repair would be completely redone at no cost to me. I am still without the $791 and will have to spend more waiting time for a repair of the repair. How could this have happened to a new car with just 24,000 miles? I have driven a Subaru since the late 70s and have never had a problem with the brakes. . . Never!.
