Two problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 2002 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When my vehicles brakes are depressed with uneven surface traction on the left or right side of the wheels, the abs system delays and does not engage the brakes for 1 to 3 seconds. This happened today on a smooth suburban street with water contacting only the right side wheels. When I went to brake for an upcoming stop sign, the brakes did not engage at all for approximately 2 seconds. It was extremely frightening. I am reporting this because it seems it is an unacknowledged problem with a lot of the model year 2002 Subaru imprezza wrx cars. . Read more...
