Total brake system failure; when applying the brakes, just after starting the vehicle and backing out of a parking lot, pedal went to the floor and vehcile required more stopping distance. Driver used emergency brake to start vehicle. The vehicle will be checked by a dealer.
We have had the car inspected and tested twice. Subaru says they find no defect with the brakes. We have contacted Subaru customer support. They promised that our area's technical representative would contact us, but has not done so. We are afraid to drive the vehicle. The problem is intermittent and occurs without warning. Two other people have experienced the brake failures with us. They are willing to report the experience.
