I was driving this vehilce while coming to a stop the brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle wouldnt stop completly, I had to shift the transmission into park,, perhaps causing damage to my transmission, upon investigation I found the rear brake line failured due to rust and corrosion under fuel tank shield. Brake lines have a protective coating to help prevent this, however where the lines exit the body of the car under the rear seat they connect into a junction block then proceed to each rear wheel, at this junction the protective coating was removed allowing salt spray from our winter road conditions to lead to corrosion and failure of the brake system. . Previous models had a recall wqk-47 that experience the same failure, but this vehicle wasn't included,.
The rear brake lines are extremely corroded at the rear block, necessitating a very costly repair. It appears that other models of this same year have been recalled for this problem, but not the Outback. Surely they have the same brake systems.
