Brake Disc Problems of Subaru Impreza

The brakes that come standard on this vehicle are nowhere near sufficient for a vehicle with this level of performance. My brakes are scored, have grooves, and have chips and burrs. During my hour commute to work I experience brake fade and brake shudder in the steering wheel. The dealer tells me these problems are "normal. " well, if you're going to sell me a car that accellerates and handles like a race car, it should be able to stop like one as well. Or at least stop at all! this vehicle requires larger, more performance oriented brakes right from the factory. I hope Subaru handles this quickly.

The brake rotors have surface imperfections which causes incomplete brake shoe contact to the rotor and concentric grooves in the rotor. There are numerous reports from wrx owners of the same problem, as well as reports of brake shoes wearing out before 5000 miles and grinding noises. Subaru has been contacted and chooses to use the excuse "it is only a problem of appearance" when in fact the rotors, a vital piece of a major safety component of the vehicle is defective and potentially unsafe. We demand a recall and replacement of the defective rotors. Subaru's flippant and ridiculous attitude is irresponsible. Please force them to fix this obvious mechanical defect.

Brakes failed and started to smoke on a hill. I have driven for 20 years, with many different cars. If traffic had been slightly different my wife and I could be dead.
