The contact stated that the dealer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, while braking for a traffic light, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact was able to stop the vehicle and had the vehicle towed to a dealer.

The vehicles brake lines have corroded and started to leak, resulting in the stopping distance increasing and the vehicle not being safe to drive. When getting the airbag recall performed at the Subaru dealership 3 years ago I mentioned the brake line recall. They stated they inspected the lines, and no issue was present. There is now an obvious issue with the brake line corroding and failing. Subaru is telling me there is no active recall.

I noticed a small puddle of fluid by the right rear wheel and immediately brought the vehicle over to premier Subaru of fremont, CA for an inspection. Premier Subaru diagnosed the problem as the right rear hard brake line failure and leak due to excessive corrosion. Premier Subaru provided a repair estimate of $3,997. 17; stating that this issue needs immediate attention. Back in 2014, there was a service campaign to address this issue; #14v311000 and my car received this service. I've contacted Subaru of America (soa), customer advocacy, about this issue and they are not willing to provide any assistance to address this current issue, even though it is directly related to the 2014 campaign. I am the second owner of this car purchasing it in 2011. The car is in excellent mechanical condition having only 135,000 miles (averaging ~7,100 miles/year) and has spent the last 7 years in the san francisco, CA area. Pictures of the undercarriage of the car are available should you need them.

The rear brakes on the above referenced vehicle failed due to environmental corrosion. This is aligned with recall wqk47-2 which was open for the effected vehicle. The vehicle was transported to suburban Subaru of vernon CT for recall resolution. The dealership service department was not willing to complete the repair for different reasons. The vehicle was returned to me, with the rear brakes inoperable, but upon review of NHTSA. Gov and Subaru's recall lookup, the recall was marked as completed. The service writer communication with me and the provided service invoice from suburban Subaru of vernon CT clearly state that the recall was not completed. This is in direct conflict with the reporting to Subaru and NHTSA with regards to recall compliance. I reached out to Subaru customer advocacy for resolution of this documentation compliance but there was no direct path to re-open the recall and rectify the situation.

When having new tires placed on the car there was so much corrosion on the wheels and brake housing the service person had to break off the chunks of rust to get the tires off.

At the time that this was found there was a recall for cars in other states for this problem but when I called Subaru about this I was told that the recall did not extend to our state. The mechanic I take my car to said it is just a matter of time until the wheels will fall off due to failure from the corrosion.
