general problems of the 2006 Subaru Tribeca

Just purchased.

Twice now in the cold my breaks have completely locked up to where I can not even push the pedal down. They seem to release after so many tries, but one time I could not stop at an intersection due to the problem.

Takata recall infleter on ,my Subaru Tribeca its a problem I have to go grosery chopping with my family I put my family back in the and my chopping bag on the passenger sit to be safe in case of a accident you know!!!!.

When temperature drops to below 10 degrees fahrenheit, car brakes will not work fully. They work at partial capacity so it takes about 10 times the distance to come to a stop. This is a safety issue as the car is unreliably stopping for at least 5 minutes until the brakes reset and start fully working.

In cold weather the brake pedal is hard as a rock to depress. When car is placed in drive the brakes don't work. According to Subaru blog sites the culprit is the brake vacuum check valve freezing up and not maintaining vacuum to the brake booster. Apparently, this problem affects other Subaru vehicle models for many years back. This is a dangerous design/engineering flaw.
