My brakes failed while I was driving because Subaru did not properly address recall wqk47 on my car in 2018 even though they claimed it was completed. My brake lines are completely corroded and they are refusing to honor the recall that they improperly addressed 2 years ago. They knew in 2018 when they applied the anti-rust solution that the brake lines were rusted but they did not do any repairs. Thus, my car is currently non-functioning. ## #vpic# 2 - VIN corrected, error in one position; 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

March of 2019 a recall was preformed for rusted brake lines. . . This year the brakes lines suddenly failed. . . Apparently if the brake lines aren't leaking the Subaru fix is to spray sealer over the rust. Only by the grace of god was no one injured as the car was being parked when the brakes let loose. And of course Subaru said they would repair the brakes properly for $1400. 00. I removed the car from the dealership for a proper repair!.
Nhtsa recall no 14v-830 (brake lines) and recall tkc19 (passenger air bags) dave wright Subaru will not return calls for me to schedule repairs for the brake line recall.
Tamara recall: I recently called a nearby dealership in atlanta GA about receiving a notice about the airbag recall. I gave them my VIN but they said that my particular car does not have an active recall for the airbag. However, when I check online at airbagrecall. Com, I have the recall listed. The dealership said instead, I have a brake line corrosion up for recall. I wanted to make sure this is true.
The rear brake lines rusted through and failed without notice. One several model of Subaru, brakes lines were replaced for corrosion due to a recall. When ordering the replacement part I noticed it applied to some of the cars covered under the recall and some that were not. It seems to my that my forrester had precisely the same lines that were recalled on other models and should have been included in you original settlement with Subaru. We have many older cars in the family and not one of them has ever experienced a brake line failure due to corrosion. It seems to me that Subaru is negligent in supplying cars with brake lines that corrode more easily from the outside that Audi, Toyota, Lexus and Honda - just from our experience.
