2015 Subaru Forester. Consumer writes in regards to premature brake and rotor failure.
I was going less than ten miles per hour on city streets and tried to stop at a stoplight when my brakes failed. My foot was flooring the brake and I continued to roll into the cross walk and part of the intersection before putting my car into reverse to make it stop as it felt like the gear changed to neutral with the way I was rolling. Luckily the oncoming traffic remained stopped when this incident occurred. My car was serviced 6 days prior to the incident by my local Subaru dealership with no report of any brake issues.
When applying the brakes (approx 40mph or less), I've had 6 occurrences where the brakes have failed. My foot is literally on the floor & the car is still moving. On the last occurence, I had to put the emergency brakes as my car was going into traffic. Started in mid Apr 2016 to current.
